A convenient marriage An inconvenient passion… His parents’ loveless relationship has left silk merchant Jonathan Harcourt suspicious of marriage. But in order to expand his mill and have an heir, he must marry his neighbour Aurelia Upford. Even more surprising than finding himself with a clever, beautiful society wife is the unexpected passion that flares between them, and the unsettling emotions it leads to. Sharing a bed was part of their arrangement, but can Jonathan risk sharing his heart, too? “A superb story told by a talented author.” — Frolic on Uncovering the Merchant’s Secret “This is a book that pulled me in so very easily with friendship and romance along with that little bit of danger to add an extra thrilling edge!” — Rae Reads, Book Blog on Uncovering the Merchant’s Secret “5 stars! Ms. Hobbes excels in creating strong admirable heroines and gorgeous swoon-worthy heroes and this book was no exception. The writing was as always flawless, detailed and kept the reader engaged.” — Rose is Reading on Uncovering the Merchant’s Secret

Falling For Her Captor October 2014 A Wager for the Widow July 2015 The Blacksmith's Wife May 2016 The Saxon Outlaw's Revenge December 2016 Redeeming the Rogue Knight August 2017 I grew up in York where I spent most of my teenage years wandering around the city looking for a handsome Roman or Viking to sweep me off my feet. Sadly it never happened but I developed a love of the past and went on to read History and Art History at university before venturing into the world of teaching. These days I hold down jobs as a teacher and mum. I live in Cheshire with my husband, two young children and two cats with ridiculous names. I love historical fiction and have a fondness for dark haired, bearded heroes. When I'm not writing, I spend a lot of my spare time reading and have become something of a pro at cooking one-handed while holding a book!
