She can’t trust anyone.
Yet to survive, she has to trust him!
When widow Hetta Champion and her little boy are endangered by her father’s hunt for a murderer, aristocrat Magnus Haile is compelled to assist! Hetta’s unhappy marriage has left her just as wary of people as Magnus is, but on their adventure in England’s stunning South Coast, she feels her guard begin to slip. Could she offer Magnus the family he’s long believed impossible?
“A forbidden kiss, a feisty heiress and a family divided by secrets, make this Regency romance and entertaining read.”
—Goodreads on A Wedding for the Scandalous Heiress by Elizabeth Beacon
“Beacon’s talents for evoking deep emotions with admirable characters, witty dialogue and sensuality shine once again.”
—RT Book Reviews on A Wedding for the Scandalous Heiress by Elizabeth Beacon
