Beautiful, cunning Verbena Montrose must marry to save herself and her odious family from abject poverty. Fortunately, what she lacks in a dowry, she makes up for in the currency of gossip.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhen she hears an alarming rumor about her very dear, very queer friend Étienne that could ruin him, she comes to his aid with a proposal—for a marriage of convenience, that is. But when Verbena discovers that a mysterious and celebrated poet by the name of Flora Witcombe has been publishing verses that hint she is onto their scheme, Verbena has no choice but to pretend to be a poet herself to confront her in a local salon. And—unexpectedly—be charmed by her.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFlora, in turn, is terrified by and smitten with Verbena in equal measure. But she holds a secret of her own: he is also William Forsyth, a struggling novelist and fifth son of a minor noble family. And if circumstances don’t allow Flora to woo Verbena, perhaps William can. Faced with two suitors and a fiancé, Verbena, who has always had to be clever to survive in society, starts to realize she may need to think outside of society’s constraints to find true happiness.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Penguin Random House","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51373539655975,"sku":"9798217007288","price":26.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0972\/4624\/9255\/files\/9798217007288.jpg?v=1778091205","url":"https:\/\/realmsandroses.ca\/products\/a-lady-for-all-seasons-a-novel","provider":"Realms and Roses Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
