An Uncommon Courtship
Book 3 of the Hawthorne House series
346 pages · First published 2017
Lord Trent Hawthorne unexpectedly finds himself married after a sequence of events that gives him and his new wife little opportunity to develop a conventional courtship first. The arrangement leaves two near-strangers trying to understand both marriage and each other while society assumes their relationship is already settled. Miscommunication, expectations, and questions of faith make intimacy more difficult than the legal bond suggests. This Regency romance reverses the usual courtship structure by beginning with the wedding and asking whether commitment can become love when affection has to grow after the vows.
