A Betrothal of Convenience: A Regency Novella

As a widow with young children, Olive Murdock must be in want of a husband. After all, it is her only path to security. Or so her neighbors like to remind her. If only there were men around worth marrying. A good marriage might provide security, but an awful marriage would be worse than being a widow. Olive isn’t sure it’s worth the risk.

Hugh Clarke has always planned to marry. He dreams of comfortable evenings with a family of his own. If only his business allowed him time for such personal pursuits. It feels like he’s done nothing but travel and negotiate contracts for the last decade.

A chance encounter with his best friend’s widow turns Hugh’s predictable life upside down. A confusing conversation leads to a feigned betrothal and a life that feels just about perfect. If only it were real.
