I haven't read anything by this author, but this looks just like the kind of thing I'd like, so I'm going to give it a try. It's on sale right now in the US for $1.99.

Ana María and The Fox, #1 in the Luna Sisters series, by Liana De la Rosa
Kindle US: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0B5SQXSWR
Kobo US: https://www.kobo.com/us/en/ebook/ana-maria-and-the-fox

And when those well-known romance experts, the NYT Book Review and The Washington Post, have nice quotes about it (see the blurb) - well, that's just catnip, even if I more-or-less still have a mad-on at The Post.

"Pleasingly subversive."--New York Times Book Review

“A perfect mix of slow-burn romance, geopolitical maneuvering and sisterly antics.”—The Washington Post

One of Library Journal's Best Romances of 2023!

A BookList Editor's Pick of 2023!

A forbidden love between a Mexican heiress and a shrewd British politician makes for a tantalizing Victorian season.

Ana María Luna Valdés has strived to be the perfect daughter, the perfect niece, and the perfect representative of the powerful Luna family. So when Ana María is secretly sent to London with her sisters to seek refuge from the French occupation of Mexico, she experiences her first taste of freedom far from the judgmental eyes of her domineering father. If only she could ignore the piercing looks she receives across ballroom floors from the austere Mr. Fox.

Gideon Fox elevated himself from the London gutters by chasing his burning desire for more: more opportunities, more choices. For everyone. Now, as a member of Parliament, Gideon is on the cusp of securing the votes he needs to put forth a measure to abolish the Atlantic slave trade once and for all—a cause that is close to his heart as the grandson of a formerly enslaved woman. The charmingly vexing Ana María is a distraction he must ignore.

But when Ana María finds herself in the crosshairs of a nefarious nobleman with his own political agenda, Gideon knows he must offer his hand as protection . . . but will this Mexican heiress win his heart as well?
