He came to New York to forget. She's fighting to be remembered. Together, they might just rewrite the rules.
Widowed and weary of being told what's best for her, Primrose Eames is determined to forge her own future—without the "help" of her overbearing brothers or her late husband's domineering business partner. But society has no place for a woman with opinions, and fewer still for one who dares demand respect.
Enter James MacKintosh—a confirmed bachelor from Scotland who's seen one too many of his brothers fall prey to love. He didn't cross the Atlantic for romance. He came to build a fortune and avoid emotional entanglements altogether. But when he crosses paths with the shy widow who hides a fiery wit and a scandalous secret—he agrees to a pretend courtship to help her gain her independence.
It's the perfect plan. Until it isn't.
As rumors swirl, sparks fly, and genuine feelings emerge, Prim and James are forced to confront what they each want from life—and from each other. But with reputations on the line and freedom at stake, will a fake courtship be the beginning of something real—or just another carefully managed compromise?
Smart, sexy, and full of heart, A Question Worth Asking is a sweeping historical romance that proves love is the most radical rebellion of all.
