Thee I Do Wed: A Marriage in Name Only Romance

A Gilded Age novella series from Constance Kent.

Lilly Gryce has been a thorn in the side of Brooklyn Foundling Home for seven years. So when wealthy Julius Thorley comes seeking a bride in name only to protect his assets from bankruptcy, Lilly is put forward as a candidate.

Julius wants a bride, yes, but the headstrong hellcat he is shown--though she is beautiful--won't pass muster in old New York society. Lilly is equally unimpressed by the pedigree of her future husband--though he is remarkably handsome. 

Julius makes her a deal. He will reunite Lilly with her long-lost parents if she can pass for his wife long enough to save the Thorley estate. Lilly will give anything to see her parents again. She did not expect the price would be her heart.
