Part of The Regency Vows
First published 2024
Sophie, Lady Fitzwilliam Bridewell, has no interest in falling in love again. She buried her husband, she rebuilt her life, and she made herself a promise: no more risking her heart. But her sister Alexandra is stuck. Alexandra has feelings for an earl and won't act on them until Sophie herself has found someone to settle down with. So Sophie does something practical. She walks up to West, the Marquess of Weston, and proposes a deal. They will announce an engagement, hold it together long enough for Alexandra to marry, and then call the whole thing off quietly. West agrees. The two of them have history, after all. Years ago they came close to an engagement of their own before a near-fatal curricle accident and West's interfering father ended things between them. They know each other. They can manage a few weeks of pretending. Sophie is certain of it. She is equally certain she will not make the mistake of falling for West a second time. That certainty is the first thing to go. The final book in Martha Waters's Regency Vows series, To Woo and to Wed is a warm, sharp-edged romance about two people who thought they were done with each other.
