His Disinclined Bride: a regency romance

Kitty Stokes never expected to marry a nobleman, but when the alternative is a lifetime spent caring for her brother’s children, she agrees to an arranged marriage with the brooding Lord Hayworth. On her wedding day, she is certain she has made a terrible mistake—until she meets her husband’s gaze for the first time.

Phineas Hayworth never intended to fall in love with his wife. Marrying the sister of a wealthy merchant is nothing more than a desperate bid to save his estate. But from the moment he lays eyes on Kitty, he is captivated. Her beauty stuns him. Her coldness wounds him. And her presence in his life stirs feelings he never expected.

As Phineas fights to restore his crumbling estate, he discovers his wife is not only lovely—she is strong-willed, clever, and utterly enchanting. But Kitty has sworn she will never surrender her heart. And when love was never part of the bargain, how can he convince his wife to take a chance on him?

A clean and wholesome historical romance filled with slow-burn passion, Regency-era drama, and a heartwarming journey from duty to love.

Author's note: While His Disinclined Bride is free from sexual content, there is talk of consummation and consent that is perhaps not fit for younger teens. ♥
