Perfect for you if...

You love sweeping historical romance with genuine emotional stakes, where physical passion and emotional connection aren't the same thing.
You want a heroine who doesn't just accept mistreatment but fights back with wit and conviction, even when the man she despises still makes her pulse race.
You're drawn to stories set in castles and kingdoms where family loyalty, duty, and desire collide in messy, human ways.

Maybe not for you if...

You prefer happy couples who communicate openly from page one, without misunderstandings or emotional distance between them.
You need your romance to feel inevitable and smooth rather than hard-won and complicated by outside forces.
You're looking for a standalone novel rather than the first book in a longer series.

About this book

The first book in the Velvet Montgomery Annals Quadrilogy, this historical romance follows Judith and Gavin Montgomery. At their wedding, their first touch sparks intense passion. Gavin is drawn to Judith's golden eyes and desires her, but his heart belongs to another woman. Left humiliated and isolated in an unfamiliar castle, Judith struggles with conflicting emotions—she resents her husband for taking her body while rejecting her love, and fears the possibility of losing him, though she keeps this fear hidden. As the story unfolds, destiny intervenes, bringing an unexpected turn of fate for Judith.
