    Two hearts. One dangerous deception. A love worth fighting for. 
    Charlotte Edgewood is no ordinary heiress. With a mind for business and a spirit too independent for London society, she's resigned herself to spinsterhood—until her younger sister is targeted by the manipulative Lord Hargrove. Desperate to protect Amelia from a loveless marriage to a dangerous man, Charlotte will risk anything, even her reputation. 
    William Sears came to London to establish his American shipping company, not to fall in love. When he catches Charlotte breaking into his warehouse, he's intrigued by her intelligence and courage. With evidence suggesting Lord Hargrove is using their businesses for smuggling operations, William proposes an audacious solution: a false courtship that will give them both access to the information they need. 
    As they navigate elaborate balls and clandestine investigations, their pretend romance awakens feelings neither expected. But when their scheme unravels at the docks, William must make an impossible choice between protecting Charlotte's reputation and preserving his own. With Charlotte kidnapped and bound for Gretna Green against her will, William races against time to rescue the woman who has captured his heart. 
    Set in the glittering ballrooms and dangerous docks of Regency London, An Heiress Worth Rescuing combines the intrigue of smuggling operations with the passion of unexpected love. This thrilling fifth installment in the American Heiress Series can be enjoyed as a standalone romance.
