Books like The dangerous viscount by Miranda Neville

Diana Fanshawe has always dreamed of becoming a duchess and attempts to propel herself into aristocratic circles by aligning with the famed Sebastian Iverley. Her plan, however, is disrupted when she becomes fascinated with the brilliant, unconventional viscount, whose sizzling kiss turns her intentions into confusion. Sebastian, preoccupied and reluctant to entertain women, finds himself drawn to Diana’s beauty and wit. He discovers that she treats him poorly, and in response he launches a strategic game of seduction and retaliation, questioning what it means to truly please a lady. The game escalates through social customs and court intrigue, culminating in either disaster or an unexpected, genuine affection. Set in a world of nobility and complex man‑woman dynamics, the narrative explores themes of social ambition, romance, and the clash between traditional expectations and personal desire.
