Books like Second Season by Elsie Lee
Charlotte Stanwood is the town’s most talked about 18‑year‑old, dismissed as a potential spinster after a disappointing debut in London. Unlike her peers, she can ride, read quietly, speak German, and even play the harp—though she rarely shows it. When the chivalrous and affluent Duke of Imbrie puts a formal flower into her lap and asks for her hand, society is stunned. Charismatic yet headstrong, Charlotte turns him down, sparking a cascade of unexpected events that challenge both her own daring nature and the rigid expectations of Regency society.
