Baronet قصص

Baronet Beresford Annesely is a man of character, but his family title is worth little to him. With no great wealth, he is considered a rather lowly Baronet. As his sister's only living relation, he spends most of his time watching over her and neglects many of his own desires. However, perhaps the time has come for him to look into his own wishes more. Much more will occur to him than he ever thought possible and, perhaps, by the end he could end up better for it all. Although, it seems more likely that he will be worse for the experience.

The year is 1750. Angelica Clarke, eldest daughter of the 6th Earl of Rosswell, has fancied her brother's best friend Peter Langham since she was a girl. However, his four year disappearance made his feelings on the matter painfully clear--or so she thought. Much to her dismay, Peter's return brings back feelings she thought she had finally conquered. Is it possible he could actually love her back? And, more importantly, can she trust him with her heart?

Belinda Woodberry does not have the luxury of innocence. With a fragile family depending on her and little money left to their name, she survives on cleverness, courage, and choices that skirt the edge of propriety. Love has never been part of her calculations-until Alexander Blackwell enters her life with an offer as dangerous as it is convenient. Alexander is finished playing obedient son. Pressured into marriage and heir-making by a relentless mother, he proposes an arrangement of his own: a carefully staged courtship that will silence Society and grant them both temporary freedom. For Belinda, it means protection. For Alexander, control over his future. Neither expects emotion to complicate the bargain. But London thrives on secrets, and arrangements have a way of unraveling. As whispers sharpen into threats and Belinda's carefully balanced world begins to fracture, Alexander is forced to decide what he's willing to risk-his reputation, his family's approval, or the woman who was never meant to matter this much. Because some promises are negotiated. Some are demanded. And some are gambled on with your entire heart.
