A neglected Austen character deserves the happiest ending of all.

Chatty Charlotte Jennings set her sights on introverted Thomas Palmer when she was a girl and he courted her sister, who chose a husband with a title instead. Now circumstances force Thomas back into society to find a wife—preferably a quiet one. Irrepressible Charlotte strives to tumble into his path at every opportunity. After a heady waltz, he can’t resist an embrace, much to Charlotte’s delight. Caught in an embarrassing display, Thomas agrees to marry her to save her reputation. The stage is set for a mismatch made in heaven.

A tumultuous wedding night dashes Charlotte’s rosy expectations. Her husband is still besotted with the image of her perfect sister, Lady Middleton, and Charlotte falls far short of that paragon of sophistication. Isolated in the Palmer estate, she sinks into despair. Only by launching a campaign to capture her husband’s esteem can she snag her own happiness.

But can she shift his heart to her own charms and secure her happily ever after?
