The Spinster’s Reluctant Groom

Description

At first, when her father had fallen ill, it had seemed like a much-needed reprieve from society for Lady Beatrice Evans, a chance to escape the rumors and ill will that swirled around her. But that was years ago when Beatrice was nothing more than a newly minted debutante, and before she became a spinster with death knocking on her father’s door.

But Beatrice’s years of being a wallflower prove disadvantageous when news strikes that her father’s lands and wealth will pass not to her, but to the single male heir, Beatrice’s distant cousin, Percy.

But Percy has no kindness in his heart for Beatrice, nor does Beatrice wish to wed him, leaving her with unsavory leftovers of suitors from seasons past . . . Until he notices her.

Benedict Bram, the Duke of Sussex, and a man who has spent the majority of his life on the fringes of society, avoiding functions so that he would never have to live up to the legend of an older brother to whom he could never compare.

He needs an heir, and Beatrice needs a husband. Therefore it must be a match made in heaven—or so one would think.
