No matter how much Aisling wishes to keep away from Sylvester Cootes, the fates keep pushing them together again. Sadly, the lady also has a firm opinion about Mr Cootes. The lady has secrets, and he means to discover them. But Sylvester is certain the lovely young woman is not all that she appears. Shy Aisling is beautiful and mysterious and draws him to her for reasons he does not understand. Whenever he sees her, he cannot help but force her to notice him by being as aggravating as he knows how. It's been over six months since he first set eyes on Lady Aisling, and he cannot get the perplexing young woman off his mind.

Mr Sylvester Cootes is a man with an obsession. The only fellow who has shown the least interest in her is the most vexing man that ever lived, and Aisling will be relieved to bury herself back in her beloved countryside and attempt to forget all about him. Another season has come and gone, and Aisling still hasn't found a suitable match, though that is perhaps unsurprising when she spends her time hiding behind potted plants. Might be a weird Pet peeve: No blonde fmc, please lol I feel like they're ALWAYS blonde (from a former natural blonde).Lady Aisling Baxter does not enjoy the company of the gossipy, judgemental ton, but she does need a husband. I haven’t finished The Dark Prince yet but love to horde books that are similar to my recent read lol so I’m unaware if all these specifics are hit in The Dark Prince. I have a very specific itch that needs scratching lol I'm not sure if there is anything out there like what I've described. She doesn't immediately warm up to the mmc.

I also would love to read a romance between the human fmc and the supernatural mmc where she is scared of him but not because he threatens her but because she doesn't understand him and doesn't know how to handle the demon or vampire or whatever supernatural creature before her. I'm just not a fan of the way "badass" women are written in supernatural romance atm. I also don't care for her to be a too over the top badass but have realistic reactions to crazy insane moments or clueless about a lot of what is going on but not in a dumb way. I do prefer her to not be a supernatural being of any kind herself. Preferably late 20s or older and is just thrust into the world of the Supernatural by way of job, an accident or stumbling across something she was studying. I'm looking for a book where the main fmc isn't a teenager and isn't in her mid 20's.
