His secret marriage is proving anything but convenient.
Master builder Merryn Kimbrell has devoted himself to his late father’s firm. Now, with a momentous royal visit just weeks away, his efforts are being noticed, though he’s never lost sight of the arrangement he made five years before.
Rebecca Pearce has spent the past years building a life of her own design in Paris—and avoiding the husband she married for convenience. Their arrangement was simple: her inheritance secured, his ambitions funded, and an ocean between them. But when her scheming cousin threatens to challenge their marriage and seize her fortune, Rebecca must travel to Cornwall and persuade her husband to play his part.
The last thing Merryn needs is scandal, but a bridge accident forces him to reveal the marriage he’s kept to himself and confront a truth long avoided: he’s loved his wife from the start. Their necessary pretense soon gives way to stolen moments amidst the bustle of a village preparing for royalty. As her cousin's accusations escalate, Rebecca and Merryn must decide what they’re willing to risk.
Will Merryn let her go again—or fight for the marriage he's wanted all along?
A kisses-only, small-town Regency romance featuring a secret marriage of convenience, second chances, forced proximity, and Cornwall's rugged beauty. Book seven in the Hearts of Cornwall series. Each novel stands alone.
Genre: Historical Romance
