The Viscount and the Vicar's Daughter
232 pages · First published 2018
Tristan Sinclair, Viscount St. Ashton, has earned a reputation for dissipation that makes him an unlikely match for Valentine March, the sheltered daughter of a country vicar. A chance encounter draws them together despite the enormous gap between his fashionable world and her quiet life. Valentine’s sincerity challenges Tristan’s cynicism, while his attention threatens the security of the only community she has known. Mimi Matthews’s Victorian romance is a compact, emotionally focused story about reputation, class, and the possibility that being truly seen can call a man toward a better version of himself.
