Half a Chance

Frederick Chance, Viscount Pernrith, isn't really a Chance. Not entirely.The illegitimate son of the late Duke of Cothrom, he's tolerated by his three brothers and ostracized from the best circles. His title is a pity gesture from the family that never truly accepted him, and his bastard origins mean no one in Society will take him seriously.Particularly not the latest rose of Society...Miss Edith Stewart, on the other hand, is rather sick of Society's attention. Flourishing rose of the Season? What rot. She's far more interested in the forbidden. The edges of Society. Those to whom she should, apparently, not be speaking.An illicit encounter leaves them forced, for now, to pretend there's an engagement between them-one that they will, of course, break as soon as it is appropriate.Most definitely break. Absolutely will break. Soon.After all, it's not like Frederick's got more than half a chance of actually wooing Miss Edie Stewart...does he?This novel continues the highly anticipated Chance family drama, with four brothers and just as many problems. Tropes include: rich/poor, found family, fake engagement, and of course, Emily E K Murdoch's tried and true method of sizzling, joyful romance.This full-length novel is a steamy Regency romance with a happily ever after and no cliffhangers. It is part of a series that can be read in any order.
