A Beneficial Marriage with Lord Halloway (Marriages of Prudence Book 1)

Description

Miss Isabella Ashbourne’s life suddenly turns when she discovers the precarious state of her family’s finances. A dutiful daughter, Isabella is prepared to sacrifice her own desires to secure her family’s future. When her third Season arrives, she knows it’s her last chance to make a beneficial match, a prospect that fills her with trepidation.

Theodore Hastings, the Earl of Halloway, is haunted by a past filled with regret and guilt over his sister’s tragic death. He’s closed his heart to love. But after an unexpected encounter with Isabella at a soiree, his guarded heart begins to thaw.

Drawn to Isabella’s vivacious spirit and captivated by her musical talents that remind him of his late sister, Theodore finds himself breaking his own rules. At the same time, Isabella, who initially saw Theodore as nothing more than her family’s salvation, begins to fall for his unexpected charm.

Their attraction to each other is undeniable, but their path to love is fraught with challenges, most notably from the scheming Bennett family who are determined to secure Theodore for their own daughter.

Theodore now has a choice to make: to remain a prisoner of his past or fight for a future with Isabella. Love, after all, waits for no one, and they must decide whether to seize it . . . or lose each other forever.
