Jessica, the Viscount's Wallflower: A Historical Regency Romance Novel By Dorothy Sheldon

She has never met her biological father but a stepfather. Banished from the only home she has ever known, she discovers a hidden family secret that will change her plans, and then a kind viscount comes to bring calm to the storm of her soul.

A pair of smiling green eyes, shining auburn tresses, rosebud lips . . . could she be any more beautiful? Seeing her for the first time was like a lightning strike; when she laughed, music filled the air, changing his whole world forever. He wanted no one else, but he was caught in the plans and expectations of those who cared little for his happiness. But he fought against the future set out for him… to be with the woman he truly loved.

Jack Deeping, Viscount Athelstone, has no plans to marry until his parents start pressuring him to realize their plan for him to wed the daughter of their old friends, the Trueloves. And neither Jack nor Lady Helena Truelove has any say in the matter. But Jack sees Helena as a sister, not a wife, and the obligation weighs heavy. When Jack meets Lady Jessica Bourne-Meade, the sweetest, most beautiful woman he has ever seen, his passion for her threatens to tear both families apart. Suddenly, Jack discovers what it is to want someone you can’t have – until you decide you’ll do anything to be with her, whatever the cost.

Lady Jessica Bourne-Meade has lost much that is precious in her short life. As she has to leave her only home, she moves to her deceased parents’ rundown family estate, eventually discovering a life-changing secret hidden there. When the burden of a lost history overwhelms her, she joins the London Season, hoping to find a love as strong as her parents once shared. When she meets the handsome young viscount Jack Deeping, she knows she has found it. There’s only one problem: he’s about to get engaged to someone else.
