"American heiress August Crenshaw has aspirations. But unlike her peers, it isn't some stuffy British Lord she wants wrapped around her finger--it's Crenshaw Iron Works, the family business. When it's clear that August's outrageously progressive ways render her unsuitable for a respectable match, her parents offer up her younger sister to the highest entitled bidder instead. This simply will not do. August refuses to leave her sister to the mercy of a loveless marriage. Evan Sterling, the Duke of Rothschild, has no intention of walking away from the marriage. He's recently inherited the title only to find his coffers empty, and with countless lives depending on him, he can't walk away from the fortune a Crenshaw heiress would bring him. But after meeting her fiery sister, he realizes Violet isn't the heiress he wants. He wants August, and he always gets what he wants. But August won't go peacefully to her fate. She decides to show Rothschild that she's no typical London wallflower. Little does she realize that every stunt she pulls to make him call off the wedding only makes him like her even more."--Back cover.

Solid feminist story submitted by mowjac on June 11, 2022, 5:17pm If you want a romance with lots of angsty "oh I shouldn't"--this is not your book. A very straightforward romance, with the biggest hurdle being trust. Mostly kisses with one sex scene and the characters very modern for the Gilded Age setting.

Great start to a new series submitted by leea on August 20, 2022, 11:11pm I really enjoyed this first book of the new series, The Gilded Age Heiresses, and I look forward to reading the next.
