His Disinclined Bride

She agreed to a loveless marriage. But her heart has other plans.

Kitty Stokes never expected to marry a lord. But when the only alternative is a lifetime of caring for her brother’s unruly children, she reluctantly agrees to a match with the brooding and mysterious 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 for his wife. Marrying the sister of a wealthy merchant is nothing more than a means to save his crumbling estate. Yet from the moment he sees Kitty, he is captivated. Her beauty startles him. Her icy distance wounds him. And her presence in his life begins to stir feelings he never expected.

As Phineas works to rebuild his estate, he discovers his wife is not just lovely—she is utterly enchanting. But Kitty has sworn she will not surrender her heart. And when love is not part of their bargain, what will it take for her to come to him willingly?

A slow-burning, heart-stirring Regency romance filled with longing, banter, and the undeniable pull of two hearts meant to be.

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. ♥
