Romance Historical | Fiction Family Life

A fake relationship, marriage of convenience 1830s romance.

How to court…

A convenient countess!

When blacksmith Thorn Ackerman was announced as the new Earl of Gadmin, his life changed instantly! Not least because if he’s to secure his inheritance, he must marry. So, now Thorn must begin his hunt for a convenient bride… 

Desperate to escape her demanding family, a practical union with Thorn could be Hypatia Quincy’s ticket to freedom. Especially when Thorn has made it clear that they’ll be saying “I do” to a business deal, not a real marriage. That is until their newfound desire poses a very real danger to their purely on-paper arrangement…

From Harlequin Historical: Your romantic escape to the past.
