However, his life takes an unexpected turn when he meets Lucilla, a fiercely independent and intelligent woman who has no interest in marriage or societal conventions. Despite their initial reservations, Richard and Lucilla find themselves drawn to each other, and they soon realize that they share a deep connection that goes beyond physical attraction. However, their relationship is not without challenges. Lucilla's past comes back to haunt her, and Richard's own fears and insecurities threaten to tear them apart. Laurens does an excellent job of creating complex and well-developed characters that readers can root for.

The author also excels in painting a vivid picture of the Regency era, with its strict social hierarchies, elaborate balls, and intricate courtship rituals. The historical details are meticulously researched and seamlessly woven into the story, adding depth and authenticity to the narrative. Overall, "The Lady Chosen" is a captivating and engaging romance novel that will appeal to fans of the genre.
