Sinopsis

Finalist- 2025 HOLT Medallion Award for Historical RomanceThey call them the Weatherby Wallflowers... After her motherâÇÖs death, Eleanor Weatherby has had a hard enough time shepherding her three younger sisters through the world and running her fatherâÇÖs household on a shoestring budget. But now her father, an eccentric naturalist who has always shown more interest in birds and beetles than his own flesh and blood, has sold their home so he could afford passage on an exploratory voyage around the world! Suddenly the four sisters dubbed the Weatherby Wallflowers donâÇÖt even have a roof over their heads.Their only chance...Eleanor somehow manages to secure an invitation to the Countess of MilthorpeâÇÖs house party, which buys them two weeks of shelter. Eleanor is firmly on the shelf, but her youngest sister, Philippa, manages to catch the eye of Felix St. James, younger brother of the Duke of Norwood. If Pippa can bring Felix up to scratch, it will draw them back from the brink of destitution.The man standing in their way...ThereâÇÖs only one problem-Jasper St. James, the Duke of Norwood. He immediately marked Pippa as an upstart miss who was only after his brotherâÇÖs fortune. Jasper vows that he wonâÇÖt let Felix out of his sight. But at every turn he is foiled by Eleanor Weatherby, who seems as determined to promote the match as Jasper is to prevent it.As Jasper and Eleanor match wits, he discovers that she is impertinent, imperious... and impossible to resist. It turns out that sparring with a headstrong wallflower is more to this stern dukeâÇÖs taste than the milquetoast maidens he was considering for his bride at the start of the house party. Maybe one of the Weatherby Wallflowers will be marrying into the St. James family after all... if Jasper hasnâÇÖt already ruined everything.A Wallflower Never Surrenders is a steamy, comedic Regency Romance.
