Beauty and the Brooding Viscount

By Jeanine Englert

On Sale: 5/21/2026
A Regency fairytale retelling with a grumpy sunshine romance

To make her mark…
She must find his match!

It’s a tale as old as time: Lucas Worthing, a wealthy Viscount, is reluctantly obliged to find a high-society wife. Especially with a deathbed promise to his mother to fulfill! But the odds are stacked against battle-scarred Lucas when the gossip sheets persist in calling him The Beast of Barnett House. Enter the Cupid’s Arrow Agency…

Matchmaking for reclusive Lucas won’t be easy, but plucky Ophelia Granger isn’t deterred by his imposing castle or gruff demeanor. If she can pull this off, her business stands a chance of success. Yet there’s nothing harder than finding a bride for the man you’re falling for yourself!
