A reluctant guardian. A resolute spinster. A battle of wills destined to unravel into love. Edward Halstead expected peace and quiet, not guardianship. But when his fallen comrade's daughter becomes his responsibility, his bachelor sanctuary at Briarwood House is soon invaded by a bright, headstrong young lady and her even more formidable aunt. Miss Felicity Price has spent years protecting her niece from the world's indifference, and she has no intention of leaving Daphne in the hands of a stoic, tightly buttoned gentleman who mistakes duty for affection. If Edward believes he can simply provide a roof, a chaperone, and a swift march to the altar, he is about to meet his match. What begins as a clash of philosophies becomes something far more complicated. Beneath their sparring over curfews, suitors, propriety, and the proper amount of sugar in a tea tray, Felicity and Edward discover an inconvenient pull of their own. As Daphne's debut approaches and Edward's past resurfaces in unexpected ways, both guardian and aunt must face what they truly want, for the girl they love and for themselves. Filled with sparkling banter, slow-growing tenderness, and mature characters who deserve a second chance at happiness, A Bachelor's Lessons in Love works beautifully as part of the Bachelors of Blackstone series or entirely on its own. Slip on your headphones, settle in, and let this charming Regency romance sweep you away. Your next favorite love story begins here.
