A Lady’s Marriage of Prudence: A Historical Regency Romance Novel: (VEXLEYS Book 2)
“I have always been the quiet one… the sister who causes no fuss, makes no demands, and is far too easy to overlook.”
Lady Cecilia Vexley never expected passion. Her fate, she believed, was to marry where it would benefit her family and live a life of quiet usefulness. But when she agrees to wed Gideon Harlow, the brooding Baron Harland, she finds herself walking into something far more perilous than mere duty.
A war hero with shadows in his eyes and whispers clinging to his name, Gideon has no patience for romance.

Yet Cecilia’s calm grace, steady courage, and disarming warmth begin to slip past his walls, igniting a desire he cannot control.
She agreed to a practical marriage, after all. What she did not expect was that the most impractical thing in the world… would be her own heart.
Continue the journey with A Lady’s Marriage of Prudence. Book Two of the Vexley Siblings series, where every sibling must face love, scandal, and the cost of honor.
