Blackthorne's Bride

Josie Wentworth has spent two years plotting revenge against the Duke of Blackthorne, who promised to return her to America and broke his word—but when she resurfaces as a mysteriously wealthy heiress, she sees the perfect opportunity to make him pay by becoming his bride. What starts as an elaborate scheme to teach this charming rogue a lesson in honor quickly transforms into something neither of them expected when Marcus discovers the beauty before him is the same ragged woman he rescued years ago. As their marriage of convenience blossoms into genuine passion, Josie must navigate the dangerous territory between vengeance and forgiveness, discovering whether the man she thought she despised might actually be worth her heart. It's a deliciously layered tale of second chances, hidden identities, and the kind of slow-burn romance that proves love can rewrite even the most carefully laid plans.
