Unexpected Romance Collection

Brides they may be, but love comes unexpectedly...



Betrothal to a Highwayman

Prim and proper Lady Rachel Augustine sinks lower than she thought possible: she disguises as a man and lingers in a pub full of ruffians of the shameful sort. All for a noble cause, of course-to find her father's killer. Who else could she rely on to bring justice? Certainly not the vexing, handsome man who'd waltzed into her life and thought he could woo her with his teasing. But when things turn dangerous on a dark, quiet road, can she trust her life with this supposed gentleman who poses as a lawless highwayman?



Not What She Seems

Miss Nicole Spears's mother does the unthinkable: tricks a kind and gentle widower into marrying Nicole while hiding the fact that she's deaf. Lord Harrell hadn't the foggiest that his fair, new wife could not hear. Neither did Nicole know that he was unaware of her impairment. Can she hope for love and acceptance when supposed rejection threatens their happily ever after? Could someone of his social standing afford to love a woman that society would dismiss?



To Win a Heart

Miss Aurora Wakefield's dreams of marrying are dashed due to an accident that leaves her feeling undesirable. Since she vows never to marry, her mother plans to force her hand to wed a cruel man. Those plans go awry when Mr. Benjamin Wild clumsily steps in to save her at great risk. Aurora tries to keep her heart intact and secrets hidden by shutting out her new husband. Can she let go of her insecurities and fear of rejection and allow the love that's ready to bloom between them?



One adorable novella and two charming short stories will make you laugh, cry, and wish for more.
