A spicy Regency mail-order bride romance set in Devon.
When a desperate young mother, Catherine, answers a matrimonial advertisement, her most fervent hope is to secure a safe future for herself and her illegitimate child. She arrives in Devon to find that her intended husband, George, is a guarded and broken-hearted man. As they develop a cautious friendship and gradually lower their walls, their marriage of convenience is unsettled by an undeniable chemistry that neither of them expected. When past betrayals and buried secrets threaten to tear them apart, Catherine and George must each decide whether their relationship is strong enough to overcome disapproval and risk opening their hearts.

This book contains references to non-consensual sexual behaviour and mental illness caused by emotional trauma. Do not proceed, or exercise caution, if you find these subjects triggering.
This book is part of a series of steamy stand-alone short reads set in Regency times. In my spicy stories, there are one or two open-door sex scenes. These are always mainstream with full consent. There is no swearing stronger than ‘damn’, and the sexual terminology is mild or euphemistic.
