From the Publisher
Lenora Bell should have the name recognition of historical romance authors such as Sarah MacLean, Tessa Dare, and Julia Quinn. Her warm, witty stories are like delicate pastries, absolutely gorgeous on the surface and even more delectable when you really dig in.” — Entertainment Weekly

"With a perfect sense of aplomb and plenty of whimsical wit, Bell continues her Wallflowers vs. Rogues series in splendid fashion by offering readers a cleverly-crafted marriage-of-convenience plot that delivers not only a spot-on cast of characters... but also a generous dose of smoldering sexual chemistry and combustible love scenes." — Booklist (starred review)

Bell is skilled at crafting a warm world, populated with inviting characters. The dialogue is sparkling, lilting across the page... Love Is a Rogue is a love letter to bookish girls, a reminder that our greatest power often lies within ourselves—if we’ll only have the courage to unleash it.

A duke’s daughter becomes a future duke’s wife.
Lady Henrietta Prince is the 24-year-old daughter of the Duke of Granville, but she’s not the one on the marriage market—her father is. Hetty’s set up a grand ball in their home for him to meet more than a dozen eligible women, all eager to become a duchess. She wants him to marry fast and produce an heir so she can get back to her true love: winemaking. When she finds that a rogue has snuck into her party, and the man begins recklessly flirting with her, she’s intrigued enough to kiss him. But as the clock strikes midnight, she learns that her rogue is a man named Ash Ellis, and he’s claiming to be “the long-lost heir to the dukedom of Granville.” Ash is unsuitable for the dukedom in every way: He owns a gaming den, and the tabloids have branded him the Devil’s Own Scoundrel. Secretly, he only wants to become the duke in order to enter the House of Lords and bring an end to child labor, having worked 16-hour days in a bottling factory as a young boy. When Hetty’s father suggests that they marry, she resists at first but then realizes it’s the only way to save her vineyards from Ash’s plans. Though they know they have chemistry from their midnight kiss, as newlyweds, they only slowly come to trust that they can fall for each other. But Ash’s pre-heir past has dark secrets, and one of those may mean the end if they can’t trust each other entirely. The second book in Bell’s Wallflowers vs. Rogues series is a charming enemies-to-lovers tale, though the clear chemistry from the couple's second-chapter kiss leaves little doubt about the outcome and the many steamy scenes that will happen on the way there. With lots of winemaking detail and good attention to the obliviousness of the ton, it’s a historical romance with great depth.
A sweet slow burn of a Regency romance.
