Perfect for you if...

You enjoy Regency romance where the emotional tension matters more than the social intrigue.
You like watching reserved characters slowly reveal themselves to each other through quiet moments and genuine conversation.
You want a marriage-of-convenience story where both people have real reasons to be guarded, not just plot devices.

Maybe not for you if...

You need constant banter and witty dialogue to stay engaged with a romance.
You prefer dukes who are charming from page one rather than ones who need warming up.
You're looking for ensemble casts and large social worlds; this sounds more intimate and character-focused.

About this book

When Lady Emma Carlisle's twin sister jilts the Duke of Ashford, Emma's parents pressure her into marrying the duke in her sister's place. Emma had hoped for a love match, but instead finds herself in a marriage of convenience with a man who is cold and distant. As time passes, Emma glimpses a thoughtful and intelligent side to her husband in quieter moments, though he remains determined to keep her at a distance. Emma is willing to offer him her heart, but fears he may break it—particularly since she believes he views her as a second choice after her sister's rejection. This is the first book in the Unconventional Brides series.
