Marriage of convenience is my favorite historical romance trope, and here Harper St George executes it near flawlessly. I loved the development of Devonthorpe and Cora’s relationship, through collaborating on his policial speeches (swoon). Neither of them expect anything beyond the  instrumental (money/status) from this marriage, but the gradual build-up of sexual attraction and emotional attachment is very satisfying. I only wish the denouement had felt a little less rushed. Bonus demisexual rep!
