[The Blooming Brides 04] • A Viscount for Violet (The Blooming Brides Book 4)

There will be no happily ever after for Violet Tavners -- or so she thinks. She has seen her sisters marry for love, but after falling for a man who turned out to be the worst kind of fraud, Violet is determined to never be deceived again. The only way to do that? Never fall in love. Instead, she agrees to consider the idea of marrying a man of her father’s choosing, despite the fact the marriage would be convenient for everyone but her.

Owen Ridlington chooses to be known for his exploits in the fight against Napoleon instead of for his title of Viscount of Primrose. He has faced many foes over the last few years, and now he is nearly lulled to sleep while protecting a little inn by the sea. One thing is certain — there is no room in his life for anyone who might be put at risk. He is alone, and he vows it is going to stay that way.

Then danger, in the form of an escaped French spy, threatens The Wild Rose Inn and Owen must protect the Tavners family and the town of Southwold at all costs. But as they work to defend the town, will Owen and Violet protect their hearts against their growing attraction, or will they learn that love can always find a way?
