A Foolish Heart (Regency Shakespeare Book 1)

Description

Mercy Marcotte doesn’t deserve a second chance at love. At least, that’s what she’s believed since jilting Solomon Kennett, the man she loved, when his fortunes took a turn for the worse. But Solomon is back from the West Indies, rich, aloof, and about to offer for Mercy’s best friend. Mercy resolves to stay out of it—until her friend runs off with another man. She can’t stand by while Solomon is humiliated yet again.

Whatever the past, Solomon Kennett is taking control of the future. He is certain he will get what he wants now that he has proven himself worthy of consideration by even the most fastidious of fathers. When the woman he is supposed to propose to is kidnapped by another man, he feels honor-bound to go after them—only to be followed by Mercy, the woman who spurned him years ago. With end goals, loyalties, and history at odds for all involved, nothing is as it seems. The last thing anyone needs is a love potion to further entangle things. Skeptical in the highest degree and determined not to surrender control to his heart, Solomon finds himself wondering if there isn’t perhaps something to the potion after all.

A Foolish Heart is a sweet Regency retelling of Shakespeare’s timeless classic A Midsummer Night’s Dream.
