She would never have to see him again. She was entirely wrong.

Isabella Stanton had determined from an early age that the fact of having been born female would not stand in the way of her doing what she desired. Having inherited a substantial estate from her grandfather, she insisted on taking an active role in managing her affairs, including the tenancy of Netherwick Hall, the magnificent mansion on her estate.

Enter Silas Wilson, her new tenant, a widower from Manchester with two young children. He was everything that she disliked: brash, ill-mannered and a man who had made his fortune in manufacturing, no doubt on the exploitation of the poor workers in his factories. Isabella despised him on sight.

She consoled herself with the knowledge that she would not have to see him again at all once he took residency of Netherwick Hall. In this assessment, she was to be proved entirely wrong…

Miss Stanton Meets Her Match is a steamy age-gap, enemies-to-lovers historical novella with spin-off characters from The Stanton Legacy series. You do not have to have read the other books to enjoy it, though your enjoyment will be enhanced if you are familiar with the rest of the timelines and characters.
