Books like A Season of Surprises by Rebecca Ashley
Miss Julia Weston, known for her fiery spirit and refusal to settle for anyone, has never imagined herself in love—or even in courtship. Yet, at Grayhall, a grand Regency estate, she finds herself surrounded by marriage-minded debutantes all vying for the attention of the arrogant, cold Lord Brandon.
Brandon has little patience for anyone's interference, especially Julia, who detests him as soon as she meets him. However, the clash of their personalities forces Julia to confront her own hidden emotions—and the possibility that a love she never expected might blossom where she least desires it.
