The Lady's Rival: A Sapphic Victorian Enemies-to-Lovers Romance (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798181322882)

They were supposed to be rivals.

Falling in love was never part of the plan.

When Lady Charlotte Blackthorne arrives in London for the social season, she has little patience for society's expectations and even less for Vivienne Ashcroft-the polished, ambitious woman determined to outshine her at every turn. Their rivalry quickly becomes the talk of high society, drawing attention, gossip, and more than a little scandal.

But beneath the sharp exchanges and carefully guarded pride lies a connection neither woman can ignore.

As competition gives way to understanding, Charlotte and Vivienne find themselves caught between duty and desire, family expectations and their own hearts. In a world where reputation can be destroyed by a whisper, every choice carries consequences-and some risks may be worth taking.

Set against the glittering backdrop of Victorian England, The Lady's Rival is an emotional slow-burn romance filled with unforgettable characters, high-society intrigue, and a rivals-to-lovers journey that will keep readers turning pages until the very end.

This book can be enjoyed as a standalone story, but readers may find the experience even richer when read as part of The Women of Blackthorne Hall series
