Season for Temptation by Theresa Romain

Brought Together by Scandal (and Biscuits)

One of the oldest in a big blended family, Julia Herington tackles problems large and small with enthusiasm. Lost sheet music? She’s happy to search. An unexpected guest? Merely a test of diplomatic skill. A handsome viscount come to call? Time to order an unbelievable number of biscuits.

But that viscount-James, Lord Matheson-is a bigger problem than she expected. Julia’s beloved stepsister, Louisa, became impulsively engaged to him…and shy Louisa is now full of regrets. Yet James needs a proper wedding to help his relatives through an unfortunate scandal.

Julia is determined to transform this troubled engagement of convenience into a love match, whether that means visiting a tumbledown estate or romping through a family Christmas. All the while, her friendship with James grows-and by the time the London Season begins, Julia realizes she has fallen for a man she’s forbidden to pursue. With reputations at stake, can she protect those she loves…or will she risk a scandal that just might end in happily-ever-after?
