In the wake of a shattered life, Lady Charlotte becomes ‘Lotte’, a lady’s companion, concealing her noble past. Sebastian, the heir to the Earl of Weston, sees an alliance with the unsuitable Lotte as the perfect defiance against his father’s rigid plans—unaware of the secrets she harbors. A USA TODAY bestseller by Bree Wolf

England 1807: In his darkest hour, SEBASTIAN CAMPBELL, son to the EARL OF WESTON, stumbles over a shy, but brave and utterly beguiling, young woman. Her eyes are guarded and overshadowed by former sorrows, yet she moves with the determination of a survivor.

Sebastian's offer of a marriage of convenience promises mutual benefit: protection for Lotte and a thwarting blow to his father's ambitions. Little does he know, this act of defiance will forever entwine their fate … and their hearts.

As their practical arrangement blossoms into something deeper, Sebastian is captivated by Lotte's gentle strength and genuine kindness. Her presence becomes his respite from the burdens of nobility, igniting a desire for a union of the heart, not just convenience.

Haunted by her past, LADY CHARLOTTE is torn between the safety Sebastian offers and the fear that her secrets could unravel everything. And so, when her new husband starts to look at her with more than friendship in his eyes, Charlotte panics. Sebastian, though, proves a man of his word, catching her whenever she falls, ... and Charlotte’s foolish heart responds without thought.

However, when the demons of her past return, Charlotte is forced to choose whether to run again … or stay and fight.

If you enjoy marriage of convenience stories with a touch of mystery, a dash of humor as well as deep, heartfelt emotions, then you’ll love this installment of Bree Wolf’s emotionally charged Love’s Second Chance Series. Grab a copy of DESPISED AND DESIRED, a cup of tea to go with it and settle into your favorite reading spot for a swoon-worthy romance that will touch your heart and stir your soul!

Each love story in this series can be read as a stand-alone. However, most readers prefer to read them in order.

From the Author

Read an excerpt:

A soft smile came to her face. "You're a good man," she whispered, a touch of surprise in her voice as her eyes studied his face. "Your sister is fortunate to call you her brother."

Despite the warmth in her eyes, guilt once more clawed at his heart, and he wondered if he would spend the rest of his life with this ache in his chest. "I cannot help but disagree, my lady," he mumbled, uncomfortable that she should think of him that way when the truth was far from complimenting.

"You did not know what your father would do," she counselled, her gaze lowered to her folded hands."People's intentions are not always written on their faces. One might seem gallant and honourable, but then prove to have no conscience, no decency, no respect for others." She took a deep breath. "It is a harsh truth. One not easily learnt."

Watching her, Sebastian frowned. "You speak from experience, my lady?"

For a second, her eyes flickered upward, meeting his, before they returned to her folded hands. "I suppose few can walk this world without seeing darkness at least once."

Sebastian took a deep breath. "How did you encounter it?"

Instantly, her jaw clenched, and she turned away, eyes fixed on the landscape outside, unblinking, until tears welled up, spilled over and ran down her cheeks. And yet, she remained quiet. No sob escaped her throat. No strangled moan was torn from her lips. Her heart suffered in silence.

And yet, Sebastian could hear her pain as though she was screaming at the top of her lungs. The agony he witnessed felt like a knife plunged in his gut.

Gritting his teeth, he forced air down his lungs. Although they had barely known each other a fortnight, her pain was now his, and he knew in that moment that he would walk through hell and back again to see her safe.

Not since Victoria had been born, had he felt such an overwhelming desire to protect someone ... no matter the cost.

This story is sad at first. It makes you want to see the heroine survive her life with all of the situations she lives through. You also think that you just can't root for her because of some of the things in her story. But the tale has you sitting in the edge of your seat because you don't know all of it until far into the book. You still don't know until near the end what will happen. That is the cleverness of the author's writing. Very good book!

I have read a lot of novels and with similar plots to each other. Bree Wolf writes excellent stories. I had just finished a series of hers - 5 books. I read one a day and lost 2 nights sleep because I couldn't put them down. I have learned not to start them at night! Now I will have to backtrack and read the rest of this series. Thank you!

It was a pretty good story but it unwound slowly. Sometimes too many pronouns were used when giving the reader her history and you could not tell who Wolf was referring to so confusing. Also the book needs editing - double negative near the end if the book, wrong pronoun, preposition, etc. The story had a beginning that did catch your attention and got you thinking about some hard questions.

Have liked this author’s other stories better than this one. Regardless of the trauma that the heroine had had to deal with, I found her to be irritating and weak. She had a right to be feel guilty and didn’t deserve forgiveness. Hero was much more interesting and a better person. No romantic episodes.

4.0 out of 5 stars Love wrapped in angst
Reviewed in the United States on February 19, 2018
Verified Purchase
Charlotte has rotten luck in parentage plus horrible luck in a betrothed but through it all superb strength of character. That strength brings her through horrible relationship, death of a love, betrayal of parentage, escape from a fire, new life as a companion and much more. Sebastian, an aspiring earl, manages to persuade her to marry him to spite his father. This marriage continues regardless of her fear of male relationships and her past. She has been through so much but stubbornly refuses to share her past with Sebastian regardless that she can probably get his help to resolve her issue. This is one area where I felt the author really dragged out the story line. I almost gave it up but I held out and I'm glad I got closure. Although this book seemed resolved I felt the door was left open for characters to reappear in other books! I have enjoyed this series-the ones I've read- but I felt this particular one had a much higher stress level as I was reading-
angst galore.

A rather difficult story to follow in the beginning. Anyone who has been through a tramatic experience will understand how their mind has difficulty processing general information, let alone complex human emotions and interactions. A very well thought out and well developed storyline. I believe that anyone who wants to understand how a person who is struggling with mental health issues or trying to understand someone else close to them will benefit from this story. The issues are not sugar coated. They are very well presented.

I loved the characters and the plot in this. Hard to put down once you’re part way through despite a slow start. I thought I knew how it ended but there was a twist midway through that changed my mind... I was still right with some parts but there was a gap that I didn’t guess. Rae past the first 1/4 and you’ll love it

1.0 out of 5 stars Boring & pointless
Reviewed in Italy on June 7, 2021

It was all too much to be realistic. I got tired of the heroine's trust issues. She was always on the brink of letting them go but inevitably drew back at the last minute. The husband tried too hard and never quite succeeded. The entire book was a constant tug of war that soon grew boring and went nowhere except irking my patience and losing my interest.

Grieving for someone is a heartbreaking way of living with only memories to keep you going. Charlotte through grief does some terrible things and is given up by her parents and good friends, is thought to have died. Sebastian, whose sister is forced by her thoughtless father to marry a terrible and controlling Lord believes that he has let her down and regrets that he cannot help her. They meet and marry only to realise that the sisters husband is the man who raped her some years before. Add to this family, past friends, intrigue, love and with some people getting their comeuppance in the end, makes this a very enjoyable book to read.

5.0 out of 5 stars A very different kind of regency romance
Reviewed in India on September 14, 2017
Verified Purchase
It is a very different type of Regency Romance because the heroine is a very grey character. The hero seems immature at point; but grows as the story progresses. What I loved the most is the in depth portrayal of the mental trauma the heroine had gone through. This is a book 5 of a series; and though is a good stand alone book as well, you will have the urge to go and read the other book which involves the heroine and one of her very important time of her life. The ending is ambiguous; leaving a chance for the villain to return and I felt that the story of the hero's sister is somewhat very sad.

I really liked this story. It was full of twists and turns, the main characters seemed to stay true to their personalities and Bree Wolf experimented with such controversial topics like physical abuse and threats to mental well-being. It took a while to warm to Charlotte, but as the story developed, so too did my sympathy for her. I must say, I was saddened by the death of a potential main character early in the book, because I would have liked to see him develop his own story. A good read.
