Brighton, England 1820

Amelia Moore is worried about her and her sister’s future. With their stepfather’s looming death, she knows they’ll soon be on their own—without an inheritance, home, or penny to their names. When an invitation arrives to join a house party at Lakeshire Park, Amelia is eager to encourage a match between her sister, Clara, and Sir Ronald. At least then, she’ll know her sister will be taken care of.

Little does she know that another guest, Mr. Peter Wood, is after the same goal for his sister. Starting with a quarrel over a glove, Amelia and Peter begin a rivalry—one that Amelia has no choice but to win. But competing against Peter—and eventually playing by his rules—makes Amelia vulnerable to losing the only thing she has left to claim—her heart.

The Viscount Who Loved Me —and Edenbrooke— but make it good, although I'm not picking up another historical romance about sisters any time soon. the protagonist's sister in this one is plain (like all the other side characters) and the hero's, mean, and both of them prove to be selfish and stupid in their own ways, thus not worthy of their siblings' unwavering loyalty. still would've rounded up my rating to 4 stars if I hadn't felt kind of tired/unmoved by the end despite the story having a better conflict than most romances out there, and with half the amount of pages, but that's just how I usually feel when I'm finishing a romance book. finally, I wish the author would write a marriage of convenience slash age gap version of Lakeshire Park with David as the hero (he showed up like a widower Darcy, I loved it) and no conflict, just slice of life and eventually some smut (the original is clean btw, but the talking makes up for it).
