An Engagement at Eltham Palace: Book 5 of A-Z of Regency Romance Raven Seal S...

Lady Evelyn Wyndham never knew seduction should be on her debut to-do list.

Preparing for the Season wasn't just about gowns, balls, and socializing-it also involved mastering the art of flirtation and seduction, a skill she hadn't yet acquired. With her debut fast approaching, Evelyn refuses to be caught unprepared, especially when it comes to the tacit language of fans, handkerchiefs, and stolen kisses.

Captain Emmett Shaw thought love was beyond his reach.

After an injury shattered his dream of climbing the army ranks, Emmett returned home burdened by misery and guilt. His aunt dragged him to Eltham Palace in hopes that a change of scenery would help him heal.

Related only through marriage, Evelyn presents Emmett with a proposition he can't resist.

Evelyn seeks a teacher in the art of seduction and trusts her second cousin, now Lord Shaw, to guide her. She needs to be ready for the upcoming Season, and Emmett is the only man she can trust with such a delicate task. Yet, resisting the girl he once teased proves difficult when she's transformed into a woman who keeps him on edge with a single pout.
Emmett knows Evelyn views him as a stepping stone to finding her Prince Charming. But as he discovers what makes her breath hitch and sees the longing in her eyes, it becomes harder to keep his distance. Can he honor their agreement, or will his growing desire lead him to ruin the very woman he's come to cherish?
