But, at a coaching inn, a bold-eyed man, looking like he is far beneath her, rouses her ire and confounds her at every turn. No man has ever stirred more than mild interest in her. Her loved ones want her to choose for love, but she doesn’t believe love is for her. Jessica is determined to participate in the London Season and choose a husband, so she need not feel left out as others get married and have their own lives. She is ashamed of the envy that stabs her especially when Abby had to go through so much to have this. Jessica watches her cousin Abby with her newborn, a daughter, a loving husband, and a lovely home. Someone to Romance is the eighth in the Westcott series. The cover of her book merely depicted a landscape, but I recognized the possibilities of a new to me Regency-era author who did indeed pay attention to the details of the historical background of her stories, the social mores of the day, and could still deliver engaging characters and romances. I discovered Mary Balogh’s tender, relationship-driven historical romances by browsing a book shop about a decade ago.
