This HaBO request comes from Lisa AM and she needs help find this romance:
Please help me find this historical romance! I’ve been looking for this novel for weeks and I’m honestly desperate.
I remember that the protagonists get married out of convenience, and that she’s considered somewhat unattractive. He goes to meet her for the first time and she’s working in her garden; she’s sweaty and her hands are dirty so she doesn’t make the best impression. Their relationship wasn’t that great at the beginning as he was rather cold towards her.
I remember another scene in which he goes to meet his lover to break up and while I don’t recall if they have sex, I do remember that he inhales snuff out of the back of her hand rather seductively.
Also, he has a missing sister in France, which is horrible because they’re going through the Reign of Terror (or maybe its the aftermath) and he’s losing hope of finding her. And he has a white lock of hair? Maybe?
A historical romance with a heroine who gardens!
