Enter James Evanston Sinclair. Titled and landed gentry, move freely among the fellow exhibitors due to his title and gender enough to get his foot in the door and then let his whiskey speak for itself. After running into each other three times in just a few days, Luz Alana a favor turns into a mutually beneficial plan. Turns out, his connections and her tenaciousness they're quite the team. And a marriage of convenience would give them both exactly what they need to access the inheritance they've both been locked out of because of a marriage clause.
But what happens when this marriage of convenience turns into more than just convenience? Luz Alana and Evan dance around their feelings for each other like professional dancers. The fact that they both spend so much of the book lying to themselves that "It's just until we both get what we need, then we divorce and go our separate ways." Like they both aren't completely obsessed with each other. There were a few twists here and there that were a delightful surprise and kept the story from feeling too "tropey" in the unduly predictable way that historicals can go. And I'm looking forward to seeing the rest of Las Leonas get their HEA's!
