A charming heiress must marry to save her familyโs business, but the man she dreams of is the one she canโt have in this passionate romance with an enchanting twist.
London, 1832: Isabelle Lira may be in distress, but she's no damsel. Since her fatherโs death, his former partners have sought to oust her from their joint equity business. Her only choice is to marryโand fastโto a powerful ally outside the respected Berab familyโs sphere of influence. Only finding the right spouse will require casting a wide net. So sheโll host a series of festivals, to which every eligible Jewish man is invited.
Once, Aaron Ellenberg longed to have a family of his own. But as the synagogue custodian, he is too poor for wishes and not foolish enough for dreams. Until the bold, beautiful Isabelle Lira presents him with an irresistible offer ... if he ensures her favored suitors have no hidden loyalties to the Berabs, she will provide him with money for a new life. ย ย
Yet the transaction provides surprising temptation, as Aaron and Isabelle find caring and passion in the last person they each expected. Only a future for them is impossibleโfor heiresses donโt marry orphans, and love only conquers in childrenโs tales. But if Isabelle can find the courage to trust her heart, she'll discover anything is possible, if only she says yes.ย
