A spicy Regency mail-order bride romance set in Devon.
Lily Finch lives a gruelling life, trapped with a bullying father and working in his London butcher’s shop. Eternally optimistic, she holds on to one cherished dream, to escape the city and become a farmer’s wife. One day, she takes a leap of faith by responding to a matrimonial advertisement placed by Freddie Southwell, a Devonshire farmer, even though he is reputedly an intimidating man who has already put off three prospective brides. Arriving in Devon, she quickly falls for Freddie’s obvious charms, and despite her initial concerns about his behaviour, she commits to their marriage of convenience. As she knuckles down to work on the farm, will Freddie step up to become the man she needs, and will their attraction blossom into the love and security she craves?

This book is part of a series of spicy stand-alone short reads set in Regency times. In my spicy stories, there are generally one or two kissing scenes and one open-door sex scene. These scenes are passionate and intimate, but the sex is mainstream and ‘vanilla’, with full consent. There is no swearing stronger than a ‘damn’ in any of my books, and the sexual terminology is mild or euphemistic.
This story has some scenes of butchery in the Regency period which may be triggering for vegetarians and vegans.
If you enjoy kisses-only books, please try the short stories I publish as Sheridan Parsons.
