Clara Ward had a business plan. Marrying a stranger wasn't part of it.
When scandal threatens Clara Ward's future-and her dream of opening a gourmet ices shop-she agrees to a practical solution: a marriage of convenience. Dr. Ellis Archibald offers a respectable name, a secure home, and nothing else. Love was never part of the bargain.
But as the newlyweds settle into life along Margate's shores, their sensible arrangement begins to feel anything but sensible. Ellis is the kind of man Clara once imagined herself marrying. As shared laughter, quiet moments, and growing affection blur the line between pretense and truth, Clara begins to wonder whether their marriage of convenience could become something real. With society watching and their reputations at stake, Clara must decide whether to protect the life she's worked so hard to build-or risk it all for a love she never expected.
A sweet, clean Victorian novella featuring a marriage of convenience, gentle humor, seaside charm, and a happily-ever-after-perfect for fans of Sarah M. Eden, Rose Pearson, Joanna Barker, and Anneka R. Walker.
