Condemned by society’s whispers, she faces a future as a spinster. Yet, a surprising opportunity arises—a marriage of convenience with a man whose reputation is as tarnished as her own prospects. But as she steps into the unknown, one question haunts her: What if it all fails? Can someone break an already broken heart?
Lady Belinda Prayton, once the darling of the ton, now finds herself a social outcast, her reputation shattered by a scandal that wasn’t her fault. Resigned to a life of spinsterhood, she seeks solace in her love for pressed flowers and the quiet comfort of her family. But when a chance encounter with the Beast of Norendale sparks an unexpected connection, Belinda begins to wonder if her heart might still have a chance at love.
Benedict Norgrove, the Duke of Norendale, has earned a reputation as the Beast of Norendale due to his brusque demeanor and intimidating presence. Haunted by a painful past and burdened by the responsibilities of his title, Benedict has all but given up on the idea of finding happiness. That is, until he meets Belinda, a kindred spirit who sees beyond his rough exterior and touches his heart in ways he never thought possible.
As Belinda and Benedict grow closer, they realize that a marriage of convenience could be the solution to their respective problems. Belinda sees an opportunity to escape the scrutiny of the ton and protect her family from further scandal, while Benedict recognizes the chance to secure his legacy and fulfill his ducal duties. However, as their feelings for each other deepen, they must confront the ghosts of their pasts and the challenges that threaten to tear them apart.
With scandal, family obligations, and their own fears standing in the way, will Belinda and Benedict find the courage to embrace the love they both desire? Or will the pressure of society’s expectations crush their chance at a happily ever after?
The Spinster’s Scandalous Betrothal is a historical romance novel of approximately 62,000 words—no cheating, no cliffhangers, and a guaranteed happily ever after.
