— SERIES COMPLETE —

A high-heat Regency romance about a scandalous secret affair and unexpected love. 

Charlotte Harding has little to expect from life. Orphaned, penniless, and painfully aware that society finds her forgettable, she survives on the charity of kindly relatives.

Then she meets the Viscount Stanton—handsome, wealthy, and entirely out of her reach. He barely notices her… until one reckless night changes everything.

Charlotte accidentally witnesses the viscount in a secret liaison, and her silence is bought with a single, unforgettable kiss—one that awakens a longing she never dared hope could be fulfilled. And when later, an opportunity presents itself, Charlotte does something truly scandalous: she makes him an offer:

•A secret, temporary affair
•No promises. No future.
•Stolen weeks of pleasure—memories to sustain her through a lifetime of spinsterhood

But the viscount soon discovers the quiet, overlooked woman he never noticed is the one he cannot forget. Desire deepens, and both must decide whether society's rules are worth denying their hearts.

The Viscount's Scandalous Affair is the first book in The Stanton Legacy, a completed Regency romance series. Each book features a full romantic arc, explicit open-door love scenes, and a guaranteed happily ever after.
