Born to be Wilde is the third book in Eloisa James's Georgian-set series, The Wildes of Lindow Castle. The story follows Lavinia Gray, a beautiful and witty heiress in desperate straits, who must seek the help of Parth Sterling, England's richest bachelor. Parth, intent on finding a suitable match for himself rather than Lavinia, offers instead to find her a prince. But the more time Parth spends with Lavinia, the more he questions why the woman who seems all wrong feels inexplicably right in his arms. Fans of Julia Quinn's Bridgertons and James's Desperate Duchesses will find this romance full of charm, wit, and passionate matchmaking.

Nothing gets me to a bookstore faster than Eloisa James Julia Quinn

Eloisa James's dazzling new Georgian-set series continues . . .

The richest bachelor in England plays matchmaker . . . for an heiress he wants for himself!

For beautiful, witty Lavinia Gray, there's only one thing worse than having to ask the appalling Parth Sterling to marry her: being turned down by him.

Now the richest bachelor in England, Parth is not about to marry a woman as reckless and fashion-obsessed as Lavinia; he's chosen a far more suitable bride.

But when he learns of Lavinia's desperate circumstances, he offers to find her a husband. Even better, he'll find her a prince.

As usual, there's no problem Parth can't fix. But the more time he spends with the beguiling Lavinia, the more he finds himself wondering . . .

Why does the woman who's completely wrong feel so right in his arms?

About the Author

A NEW YORK TIMES bestseller many times over, Eloisa James lives in New York City, where she is a Shakespeare professor (with an M.Phil. from Oxford). She is also the mother of two children and, in a particularly delicious irony for a romance writer, is married to a genuine Italian knight.
