A Historical Regency Romance Novel

By: Aria Norton

Margaret Whitmore has always kept her head down, surviving as best as she can under the care of indifferent relatives. An orphan with little fortune, she clings to her art, her memories, and the hope of a quieter life. When she learns she must marry the cold and forbidding Earl of Blackwood though, her carefully measured world is thrown into chaos…

Henry Blackwood, Earl of Thornfield, built a life of control and duty after a childhood scarred by cruelty and loss. Practical, guarded, and unyielding, he chose a wife for reason, not passion. However, Margaret’s quiet strength, sharp mind, and unexpected warmth begin to pierce the walls around his heart, stirring feelings he thought long buried…

As Margaret and Henry navigate their marriage of convenience, desire and danger intertwine. Secrets from the past, family intrigues, and hidden threats put everything at risk, forcing them to confront their own fears and vulnerabilities. Can a reluctant countess and a brooding Earl learn to trust—and love—without losing everything?
