Never again wanting to experience the pain of a broken heart, she’s resolved to make a match with a polite, respectable gentleman. The last thing she wants is another reckless rogue.
Lord Alex Edgerton has a problem. His brother, tired of Alex’s carousing has charged him with chaperoning their remaining, unwed sister about ton events. Shopping? No, thank you.

The task of chaperone becomes even more of a bother when his sister drags along her dearest friend, Lady Imogen to social functions. The last thing he wants in his life is a young, innocent English miss.
Except, as Alex and Imogen are thrown together, passions flare and Alex comes to find he not only wants Imogen in his bed, but also in his heart. Yet now he must convince Imogen to risk all, on the heart of a rogue.
A Season of Hope is book two in the Danby Novella series by Christi Caldwell. Olivia Foster is the younger sister from the first book in this series, “Winning A Lady’s Heart.” The character of Olivia is funny and loyal. This story takes place seven years after the first book. Olivia is twenty-three and hoping for her true love to return from the Napoleonic war. When he doesn’t return, Olivia’s father steps in to force her to marry. Olivia’s lost love Marcus Wheatley has endured years of war, imprisonment, and torture. He has locked away his heart and separated himself from those he loves. When Olivia arrives at her grandfather’s home – the Duke of Danby, Marcus must face his past and his future. Caldwell is a master storyteller. She works magic on the page. “Long golden lashes fluttered, and she leaned into him, and, God help him, he was lost. His physical disfigurement, her upcoming marriage to the earl, all of it, slipped away as he lost himself in the remembrance of her kiss.” Bravo, Ms. Caldwell!
