A Spinster for the Dark Recluse: A Historical Romance Novel (Wives of Convenience Book 4)
“I am not capable of offering love, Miss Sinclair. I am not certain I know what it is.”
It is not the sort of proposal a lady dreams of.
But Miss Violet Sinclair has never been the sort of lady Society understands.At six-and-twenty, Violet has refused every suitor who sought her silence instead of her mind. Labeled difficult, particular and unmarriageable, she stands on the edge of a future where marriage means disappearing entirely, until a single conversation on a shadowed balcony leads to the most unexpected offer in London.
Marcus Langdon, Duke of Thornwood, is known as the ‘Dark Recluse’. Blunt, uncompromising and wholly unsuited to Society’s expectations, he has no interest in charming a bride, only in forming a practical alliance. He offers Violet security, independence and honesty… but no promise of love.
A marriage built on truth should have been simple.
Yet beneath their careful arrangement grows something neither anticipated, quiet understanding, fierce loyalty and a connection that threatens to turn a convenient bargain into something far more dangerous.
Because when a woman who refuses to disappear meets a duke who refuses to pretend,
the greatest risk may not be scandal……but falling for the one person who promised never to love her.
A slow-burn clean Regency romance featuring a cold, observant duke, an independent wallflower heroine, marriage of convenience, emotional healing, and a deeply satisfying happily-ever-after.
No cheating, no cliffhangers, and a happily ever after full of romance.
