*Book Three in the Gentleman's Proposal Series* Ginny Greene is only one London season away from spinsterhood. Having spent all of her seasons thus far pining after the wildly uninterested (and emotionally stunted) William Bancroft, it is now time to focus on marrying a man who might reasonably have her. There is only one problem - William Bancroft has suddenly taken notice of her. William Bancroft has known that he would marry Ginny Greene from the moment he set eyes on her. Now, finally ready for the chase, he finds himself in the unique position of courting a woman for the first time in his life. But Ginny does not merely want courting. No, she wants love. Affection. Easy intimacy. All things that Bancroft knows he cannot offer her. But, bastard that he is, it does not keep him from trying. Content Warnings: This book contains themes of religious trauma, CSA, scenes containing self-harm, and some violence. Note that while Books One and Two in this series can be read separately, this book requires having read both of the others (unless you don't mind being a little confused).

Edmund Westworth (26), the third Earl of Beaumont, and the most eligible bachelor in London, unknowingly started a tradition he now regrets. At age twenty-two he danced the first dance at the season opening ball at Almack's with a young lady who became the toast of the season. The next year he did the same. Every year since, he has danced one dance, to fulfill his mother's requirement. And every year his dance partner becomes the most sought after girl of the season. Some think he has a gift, Edmund thinks he could pick any girl and 'the ton' would deem her desirable based on his dance alone. His friends disagree and bet him 100£ to choose a dance partner who couldn't possibly entice the gentlemen of London. When her father suddenly passes away, Elizabeth Cavendish (20) has to move in with her aunt's family. With the estate entailed, Elizabeth needs to find a husband quickly or her aunt will install her into a governess or lady's companion position, which would severely hinder Beth's ability to work on her scientific experiments. Garbed in her cousin's horrific dresses from last season, she only has a few weeks to find a husband before she is doomed to tedious work for the rest of her life. She finds an unlikely accomplice in the Earl of Beaumont. Please don't copy any part of my story in any form (including Youtube) without my permission.

General Kieran Hammedatha has been placed under pressure by his father to find a wife for far too long. You'd think that a brave and handsome soldier like him would find a bride in a blink of an eye. That's where you're wrong. General Kieran is not a ladies man. He has never been one to persue women, and cannot bear how they fall to his feet and adore him openly. That said, he is against the idea of marriage, simply because he can't stand a life long relationship with someone who's all up in his business. That is until he meets Elena Rivera, a woman of noble birth, who just keeps running away from him. With her, logic flies out the window and he is left with an impulse to pursue.

"You truly are one special lady." Wallflowers symbolize a shy or excluded person at a dance or party, especially a girl without a partner. Victoria Blackburn lives a lonely and simple life. She is not like most ladies in London, and that is how she likes it. She does not want to be the centre of gossip, but a rumour about her and a lord she does not know well has been made up. Now her house at Lyne Avenue seems to be the place where everyone wants to be. Andrew Brompton is not liked by the ton, and when a rumour comes out, he does not bother about it. But he feels the need to protect the lady who is in the centre of attention, next to him. He discovers there is much more to her than he initially thought, and that mayhap all rumours are untrue. Will they be able to see through the superficial façade of rumours and brave the ton, or will they return to their quiet and uneventful life?
