She's everything a proper woman shouldn't be - and that's exactly how she wants to remain.
Lucretia Goodwin is clever, determined, and dangerously outspoken in a world that rewards women for their silence. She's content pursuing her teaching career, nurturing her independence, and ignoring the whispers that she's the unmarriable kind.
Having witnessed the unhappiness marriage can bring, she's determined to remain independent and unattached. Her sister's hasty marriage and subsequent relocation only solidified her resolve. And now, she watches with growing concern as her best friend is courted by a man of questionable character.
But everything shifts when Benjamin Steward, the new headmaster, arrives at the academy. With visions of reform and a surprising belief in women's rights, he disrupts the foundation of their small academic community. As he campaigns for change in the classroom and begins to see Lucretia as more than just a colleague, he unexpectedly stirs something within her - curiosity, desire, and conflict.
As love and principle collide, Lucretia is forced to confront her long-held beliefs and must decide whether she can forge her own path within a society that demands her submission. Can she love freely and remain her own person, or will the cost of independence be a lonely heart?
The Unmarriable Kind is a captivating slow burn, historical romance where Victorian societal expectations and personal desires clash. Perfect for lovers of historical fiction that features women who dare to challenge the expectations of their age to live. and love, on their own terms.
