His Baroness

Nicholas Hale does not believe in love. A devastating loss turned him into a man of stone—wealthy, powerful, untouchable. When he enters London’s marriage market, he’s not looking for romance, only a sensible bride who will never ask for his heart. Helena Beaumont sees him coming a mile away. Smart, sharp-tongued, and fiercely protective of her beautiful younger sister, Helena knows exactly what men like Nicholas do: they take security and leave ruin behind. She refuses to let her sister become collateral damage in a loveless union. Unfortunately for them both, Nicholas can’t stop watching the wrong Beaumont sister. What begins as mutual distrust turns into heated verbal sparring, reluctant respect, and a dangerous attraction neither of them planned for. Nicholas doesn’t want love. Helena doesn’t trust it. But some hearts don’t stay buried forever. And some storms demand to be faced.
