The Belle of Belgrave Square
Book 2 of the Belles of London series
Bookish heiress Julia Wychwood struggles with severe social anxiety and the demands of controlling parents who treat her fortune as their own. She proposes a marriage of convenience to notorious former soldier Captain Jasper Blunt, seeking freedom while providing the money his Yorkshire estate and three children require. Life at his supposedly haunted home reveals a gentler guardian behind his dangerous reputation, but also secrets he fears she will interpret as betrayal. Gothic-tinged and warmly romantic, this installment suits readers who enjoy shy heroines, sensation novels, crumbling estates, protective marriages of convenience, and Beauty-and-the-Beast echoes without explicit content.
