Her Baseborn Bridegroom

When Linnet is finally promised a marriage of convenience to escape her lonely tower life, she braces herself for a colorless union—only to have a dark, commanding bastard arrive in her intended groom's place, completely upending all her carefully managed expectations. Mason Vawdrey is rough where her promised husband was supposed to be malleable, intense where she anticipated indifference, and he seems utterly unbothered by the supposed ugliness everyone's convinced her she possesses. As these two carefully guarded people navigate their unexpected arrangement, Linnet begins to discover that maybe the world's narrow definitions of beauty—and worth—never applied to her at all. This is a richly atmospheric medieval romance full of slow-burn tension, found family warmth, and the transformative power of being truly seen by another person.
