But when Helena’s past threatens, will Justin’s burgeoning feelings for his new bride compel him to come to her rescue? Or will dark secrets of his own force him to let her go? A dispassionate union free from the entanglements of love and affection. Their marriage was meant to be a business arrangement and nothing more.
What he needs, in short, is a wife and a matrimonial advertisement seems the perfect way to acquire one.
Someone to manage his household–and warm his bed on occasion. Now, he needs someone to smooth the way for him with the villagers. Justin has spent the last two decades making his fortune, settling scores, and suffering a prolonged period of torture in an Indian prison. And ex-army captain Justin Thornhill–though he may be tall, dark, and devastatingly handsome–is anything but a romantic hero. But Greyfriar’s Abbey isn’t the sort of refuge she imagined. Helena Reynolds will do anything to escape her life in London, even if that means traveling to a remote cliffside estate on the North Devon coast and marrying a complete stranger.
