An Age-Gap, Enemies-to-Lovers Historical Romance
Isabella Stanton had determined from an early age that the fact of having been born female would not stand in the way of her doing what she desired. Having inherited a substantial estate from her grandfather, she insisted on taking an active role in managing her affairs, including the tenancy of Netherwick Hall, the magnificent mansion on her estate.
Enter Silas Wilson, her new tenant, a widower from Manchester with two young children. He was everything that she disliked—brash, ill-mannered and a man who had made his fortune in manufacturing, no doubt on the exploitation of the poor workers in his factories. Isabella despised him on sight.
She consoled herself with the knowledge that she would not have to see him again at all once he took residency of Netherwick Hall. In this assessment, she was to be proved entirely wrong...

Miss Stanton Meets her Match is a spin-off novella from The Stanton Legacy series. You do not have to have read the other books in the series to enjoy this novella. Set in Victorian England, this book features an age-gap, enemies-to-lovers romance between a young heiress displaying a great deal of prejudice against the proud widowed industrialist who is not of her social class. If you're a fan of Jane Austen and Elizabeth Gaskell's North and South, but also enjoy steamy historical romance authors such as Minerva Spencer, S.M. LaViolette, Julia Quinn, Sadie Bosque and Kathleen Ayers, then this book is for you.
