The Lady's Dangerous Proposal
(2025)(The second book in the Dangerous Regency Courtships series)
A novel by Tenaya Gatrell
Orphaned and at the mercy of her ruthless brother-in-law, Cressida Tyndell is on the cusp of marriage to a lecherous suitor who will ruin her life. When an attempted assault forces her to flee, she runs straight into the arms of the last man she ever expected to ask for help: Captain Benedict Savage.
Once a proud soldier, Benedict returned from war a broken man, scarred in body and soul. He has spent the past year in self-imposed exile, haunted by guilt and tormented by the memory of the one woman who made him feel a glimpse of sunshine- Miss Cressida. But she has feelings for his cousin, the charming and rakish Lord Wycliffe... not a man like Benedict.
Yet when Cressida begs him to marry her to save her from her guardian's malicious plans, Benedict cannot refuse. Bound by an engagement of convenience, they soon find themselves tangled in an intimacy neither of them expected. Cressida discovers there is more to her brooding fiancé than she ever imagined, while Benedict fights his growing desire for a woman he believes he can never truly have.
But their fragile bond is threatened when a vengeful enemy from Benedict's past emerges and threatens Cressida's life. As danger closes in and passion ignites, they must decide if their impending marriage is only a means of escape... or the beginning of a love worth fighting for.
Genre: Romantic Suspense
