An Unexpected Bride
Book 5 of the Brides of Brighton series
208 pages · First published 2019
A young woman expecting an ordinary Regency future becomes an unexpected bride when circumstances rearrange the courtship she thought she understood. The gentleman involved has his own obligations and assumptions, making their new connection as inconvenient as it is surprising. Family expectations and social rules force them into repeated proximity before either has decided what the relationship should become. Ashtyn Newbold’s clean historical romance uses an unplanned match, manners, and gentle humor to explore how affection can grow from the future neither person originally intended.
