A love that defies the odds
Devotion, sacrifice and twists that readers say they did not see coming.
A poor curate. A wealthy beauty. One impossible marriage.
Grace Stanton is beautiful, vivacious and no innocent when it comes to men. Her carefree, happy life is disrupted when her family is summoned to the bedside of her grandfather, the dying Earl of Stanton, in England. There, circumstances force her into a marriage with the last person she ever thought to marry: Benedict Sedgwick, the newly appointed parish curate who wears threadbare clothes and blushes in the presence of women.
For Benedict, it is infatuation at first sight, but he knows the wealthy beauty is well out of his reach. That is until one day she comes knocking at his door asking for help, and he cannot help but propose marriage as a way out of her dilemma.
Can a poor, inexperienced and ordinary looking curate win Grace’s heart when she yearns for a dashing man of the world, someone like her new neighbour, the handsome Mr Templeton?
The Vixen’s Unlikely Marriage is the second book in The Stanton Legacy. Each book features a full romantic arc, explicit open-door love scenes, and a guaranteed happily ever after. It reads perfectly well as a standalone.
What readers are saying
Five-star feeling, straight from the reviews.
A real page turner that you can’t stop reading till you’re done.
Benedict is such a wonderful character. I enjoyed watching him transform from a blushing, stammering shy guy into a supportive and caring partner.
Virginal cinnamon roll heroes, bold vixens and lots of steam.
A delight to read! An unforgettable tale of love, devotion, daring and sacrifice.
He really is the epitome of my own dream of the perfect husband.
Very steamy and hot, with a shy hero who must learn to please a sexually experienced wife.
