Wallflower Whispers by Rose Pearson

Facing society’s whispers, can Rachael and Hugh’s partnership in truth turn into a perfect romance?
Miss Rachael Simmons is struggling to keep her head high. When a rumor spread last year about her engagement to Lord Blackmore, she was shamed into retreating to be with the other wallflowers and has never regained her standing since. Seeing him again brings the entire situation back and she turns to the other wallflowers for support and friendship.

Hugh, the Earl of Blackmore, has been attempting to hide himself away from society, given the rumors whispered about him the previous year. Encouraged to return, he is somewhat embarrassed to meet with the very same young lady who was involved in the rumors – and then is horrified when yet more rumors begin! With both their reputations in jeopardy, both Rachael and Hugh must work together to expose the truth, without losing their hearts at the very same time.
