Losing her loved ones made Elizabeth afraid of loving – and the betrayal from the woman he loved, made William succumb to the life of a rake. Two seemingly different worlds come together by arrangement, only to prove that love works in mysterious ways.
Miss Elizabeth Fairchild, a woman of strength and independence, faces the daunting prospect of an arranged marriage to secure her inheritance. The proposal from William Thornton, her childhood friend turned known rake, presents itself as a solution to her predicament, but also brings its own set of challenges. As Elizabeth navigates her new married life, she becomes increasingly drawn to her husband’s charisma, wit, and unexpected kindness. Can she break through her practical nature and allow her heart to feel love?
Mr. William Thornton, a man known for his rakish ways, is intrigued by the unconventional proposal from his long-lost childhood friend, Elizabeth. An arranged marriage without the expectation of love seems like a harmless venture. However, he finds himself increasingly enchanted by Elizabeth’s authenticity, intellect, and grace. As the seeds of affection sprout in his heart, can he overcome his scandalous past and embrace the possibility of love?
As their marriage of convenience evolves into a bond far deeper than expected, they face trials as William’s past threatens to unravel the serenity of their union. Elizabeth’s reputation and their shared happiness hang in the balance. Can they muster the strength to fight for their blossoming love, standing steadfast against the incoming storm?
*If you enjoy reading about strong Dukes, affectionate Duchesses, and the enchanting Regency and Victorian times, this novel is a perfect choice for you. It immerses you in the world of powerful nobility and the romantic elegance of those historical periods.
A captivated regency romance novel of 65,000 words, written by Sally Forbes.
