Description
An Arrangement Marriage Regency Romance
When Lady Beatrice Winfield’s elderly husband dies after less than a year of marriage, society’s cruel whispers brand her barren and unlucky. Resigned to spinsterhood in her father’s home, she never imagines becoming the subject of negotiation between her father and the imposing Earl of Greymoor at their gentleman’s club.
Roman Caldwell, Earl of Greymoor, has mourned his beloved wife for two years. Now duty demands he secure his family line. He wants no love match—merely a practical woman of good breeding who can provide him with an heir. Lady Beatrice, with her quiet dignity despite society’s scorn, seems the perfect candidate for a marriage of convenience.
As autumn leaves fall around Greymoor Manor, Beatrice discovers fire beneath Roman’s icy demeanor, while he finds himself captivated by her gentle strength. But when Beatrice finally shows signs of carrying the heir they both desire, secrets from Roman’s first marriage threaten everything they’ve built. In a world where appearances matter above all, Beatrice and Roman must decide if the hearts they’ve reluctantly surrendered are worth fighting for.
