She married him to save her brother.
He never believed he could be loved.

Miss Felicity Newberry agrees to a marriage she never wanted, sacrificing her future to rescue her brother from financial ruin. She expects duty and distance—but not the shock awaiting her when she finally meets her husband.

Vernon Payton, Marquess of Kittredge, is charming and intelligent… and confined to a wheelchair after the Black Day, an event he cannot fully remember. No one warned Felicity of his condition, nor of the challenges such a marriage would bring.

Feeling deceived yet unwilling to abandon him, Felicity chooses to remain. What begins as obligation slowly transforms into trust, tenderness, and a growing intimacy neither of them expected. Vernon may doubt his ability to be the husband Felicity deserves, but he soon learns that devotion, patience, and gentle affection can be just as powerful as passion.

When another lord’s interest threatens their fragile bond and Felicity’s brother once again invites scandal, their marriage is put to the test. Bound by circumstance but drawn together by choice, Felicity and Vernon must decide whether love can grow from a union that was never meant to be more than a bargain.

From Beryl Brighton, a delectable Regency romance featuring a wounded Marquess, a courageous bride. Tastefully sensual, delightfully steamy, and brimming with dreamy romance to make your heart flutter.
