Languages : en
Pages : 334
Book Description
In this USA Today–bestselling medieval romance, two nobles betrothed at birth become bound by desire, but treachery could tear them apart. Promised to Merrick of Tregellas when she was but a child, Lady Constance was unwilling to wed a man she remembered only as a spoiled boy. Sure, he had grown into an arrogant knight, she sought to make herself so unappealing that Merrick would refuse to honor their betrothal. Yet no sooner had this enigmatic, darkly handsome man ridden through the castle gates than she realized he was nothing like the boy she recalled. And very much a man she could love . . . Haunted by secrets from his past, Merrick was unwilling to return to Tregallas—until he caught sight of his bride-to-be. Beautiful and spirited, Lady Constance was everything he wanted in a wife. She stirred his passion—and his heart—as no woman ever had before. But what would happen when she discovered the truth? When enemies begin plotting their downfall, only trust can save a match never meant to end in true love. Praise for The Unwilling Bride “The Unwilling Bride is filled with intrigue and betrayal that can only be resolved if there is love and trust. . . . I highly recommend this thoroughly engrossing tale!” —Romance Junkies “Readers cannot help but be enamored by the resolute Constance and the irresistible Merrick. Both are superbly drawn and realistic characters full of integrity, fortitude, and, of course, vulnerabilities, which are what make the reader come to care for them.” —Romance Reviews Today

But all of that changes when a reckless driver kills both of her parents and seriously injures her younger sister. With mounting hospital bills adding to the pile of debt her parents left behind, Sadie is left with no choice: she must marry. And not just any man—the man who saw her at her weakest and walked away.

When he is faced with the chance to protect Sadie once again, he can’t let her down—even if it means living with the scorn of the woman he loves for the rest of his life. Working alongside Aden at the store, Sadie realizes he isn’t the same boy who once betrayed her. Just when Sadie starts to let her guard down and perhaps develop feelings for her new husband, dangerous secrets are revealed.
