"A practical arrangement, an unexpected love, and a perfect match worth fighting for."

Miss Penelope Dennings has learned the hard way that doing the right thing comes at a cost. By exposing her role in the scandal that nearly ruined Lord and Lady Mayville's marriage, she earned their forgiveness—but lost everything else. Cast out by society and abandoned by her friends, Penelope is now a pariah, with no prospects and no hope of redemption.

Theo Blake, Lord Ralston, is every mother's dream for a son-in-law: handsome, wealthy, and scandal-free. Yet, in a world dazzled by charming rogues and irresistible rakes, he's deemed too nice to be desirable. Overlooked and underestimated, Theo has a pressing problem—an inheritance tied to his marital status—and a brilliant solution.

When Theo offers Penelope a marriage of convenience, she has no choice but to accept. He's both a lifeline and a practical choice for Penelope. And for him, she's his last hope to avoid marriage to the woman who has marked him as prey—Miss Estelle Weddington, one of Lady Bruxton's minions. But as they navigate society's gossip and the scheming of jealous rivals, they discovers something surprising—their feelings for one another are anything but practical.

Now, for the first time in his life, Lord Ralston must play the part of the scoundrel to fight for his future—and for the woman he never expected to love.

For readers who adore marriage-of-convenience tales, swoon-worthy heroes, and spirited heroines who defy the odds, The Perfect Groom is a heartwarming story of love, redemption, and discovering the beauty in imperfection.
