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
