" Rose S - Goodreads Review ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐"No, no, we cannot marry. That is absurd.

"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 when he meets Grace Stanton, but he knows that 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?Author's note: This is a sweet, steamy and dramatic historical romance set in Victorian England featuring a marriage of convenience between two unlikely characters, a beautiful vixen and a virtuous clergyman, who nevertheless find themselves falling in love.
