The Widow's Marriage Bargain (Love and Intrigue in High Society #1)

Lady Eleanor Marbury never wanted more than peace for her daughter until her husband’s death branded her a murderess in every drawing room in London.

Fleeing to Bath, she finds refuge next door to the one man she never stopped loving and with whom she never had a second chance.

Can she survive the scandal long enough to earn one?

Mr. Gabriel Hartley buried his heart the day Eleanor married another man. Six years of silence should have been enough to forget her until she returns as a widow, and the pull he never buried resurfaces. Can he protect her without losing his heart all over again?

A marriage of convenience should have been simple: save Eleanor’s daughter and guard Gabriel’s heart.

Yet, living under one roof, they discover that old love is harder to outrun than old scandal.

With a ruthless cousin closing in and a courtroom deciding a child’s fate, can Eleanor and Gabriel trust each other enough to fight for the love they lost?
