The Blooming Brides Box Set

Four young, unmarried sisters run The Wild Rose inn, which sits on the shore of the sleepy, serene, seaside town of Southwold. Until one day, returning soldiers begin to take refuge within their walls, and the flowers see their first blooms in these four Regency romances.

A Duke for Daisy
The moment Nathaniel steps foot into The Wild Rose Inn simply as Mr. Hawke, everything changes. He is constantly tested by the stubborn and opinionated eldest daughter of the innkeeper, yet he cannot seem to keep away from her. Daisy Tavers, in turn, wants nothing more than for the arrogant, self-righteous man to leave the inn and her family, for he is clearly hiding something he has no wish to share. Everything about Daisy and Nathaniel should mean they are absolutely wrong for another. Yet the more time they spend together, the more they cannot deny that they are inexplicably drawn to one another. When Nathaniel must assume the life of a duke, however, whatever will happen to Daisy?

A Marquess for Marigold
Jacob Rothschild, the Marquess of Dorchester, arrives at The Wild Rose Inn having survived the war, but left with a scar across his face that matches the one across his heart. While the bitter marquess manages to keep most away with his surliness, Marigold Tavners has never been able to resist an attempt to heal a broken soul — even if this particular one has no wish to be tended to. The more time they spend together, the more he opens up. But can he do so enough to ever love again?

An Earl for Iris
Iris Tavners met the man of her dreams -- but found out that he was in love with someone else. So she is pleased when August Williams, the Earl of the Westwood, leaves their inn after hiding from the French. He arrives in London to find his fiancée has given her heart to another. He is further chagrined when his identity is compromised and he must return to the Wild Rose Inn. Shocked by August’s return, Iris is determined to resist his charms. But when danger threatens, will the two be drawn together despite their best intentions?

A Viscount for Violet
After falling for a man who turned out to be the worst kind of fraud, Violet Tavners is determined to never be deceived again. She will not fall in love. Owen Ridlington has faced many foes, but one thing is certain -- he is alone, and he vows it is going to stay that way. When an escaped French spy threatens The Wild Rose Inn, Owen must protect the Tavners family. As they work to defend the town, will Owen and Violet learn that love can always find a way?
