Thirty, independent, and considered entirely unmarriageable, Miss Margaret Meg Blackwell is the subject of whispered pity and pointed glances in every drawing room. She has no use for society's approval-until the looming loss of her crumbling family estate forces her to consider the unthinkable: marriage.
Lord Nathaniel Harcourt is a brooding widower with a reputation for being impossible. Pressured to remarry for the sake of appearances-and his spirited children-he has no interest in love, only a wife who will keep the gossips quiet. Meg Blackwell, sharp-tongued and disinterested in romance, is... ideal.
Their marriage of convenience comes with strict terms: her independence in all but name, his promise to leave her heart untouched. But life at Harcourt Hall is anything but proper. Between muddy adventures with the children, whispered scandals, and stolen moments that feel far too much like courtship, Meg begins to suspect that the most dangerous thing in this arrangement is how much she wants it to be real.
And Nathaniel? He's starting to think his inconvenient bride might just be the love of his life.
A witty, slow-burn Regency romance brimming with found family, scandal, and the delicious tension of a bargain both parties are desperate to break.
Perfect for readers who adore:
Older heroine & brooding widower pairings
Marriage of convenience with plenty of inconvenience
Sharp banter, warm family moments, and swoony slow-burn romance
Step into Harcourt Hall and lose yourself in a love story that refuses to stay within the rules.
