Lord Hartwell's Refuge
(2026)(The second book in the Gentlemen of York series)
A novel by Sally Britton
Tamsin Mayweather has never once been asked what she wants.
Lord Hartwell has never believed happiness was his to have.
As the eldest daughter in a household stretched thin by a large family and a distracted father, Tamsin Mayweather has spent her life being useful to her family, as a governess, nursemaid, peacekeeper, and everything but a priority. When Lord Hartwell offers his hand, it isn't romance he proposes. It's a solution: a title, a household, stability for her siblings, and freedom from a stepmother who values her only for what she provides. Tamsin knows better than to hope for more. Usefulness, at least, is something she understands.
Roman Eastwood, Baron Hartwell, has built a life on being reliable. He is a man who solves problems, steadies his family, and never asks for anything beyond what duty requires. A wife of good sense, in a marriage of convenience, is simply the next responsible decision. He doesn't expect to want more than that. He certainly doesn't expect his new quiet, practical bride to be the one who teaches him he's allowed to ask for more.
A marriage built on practicality soon grows complicated. As Tamsin learns what it is to be wanted rather than needed, and Roman discovers that love might be worthwhile, an old political rivalry threatens to unravel everything Roman has spent his life protecting.
They must both decide whether the life they have carefully arranged is enough, or whether they dare ask for more.
A gentle historical romance about learning how to love, Lord Hartwell's Refuge continues the Gentlemen of York series, and readers of Mr. Eastwood's Match and the Clairvoir Castle Romances will find plenty of familiar faces waiting in York.
Genre: Historical Romance
