Colin's Conundrum
Colin Butler, Lord Gelroy, is in deep trouble. Years of hard work and frugal living have finally failed, leaving his troubled estate on the brink of disaster. A last-ditch effort to stay out of debtor’s prison finds him walking the long road to London.
Daisy Grainger, an innkeeper’s daughter in a small town, looks for nothing more than to live a comfortable life—away from the man her father has been trying to convince her to marry. When she finds a mysterious stranger walking along the road, she feels an immediate draw.
Instant attraction turns to complications when a series of misunderstandings leaves the couple married, consummated and trapped. Can Colin and Daisy work together to bring hope in the darkest of situations? Or will the unlikely couple meet a rocky end?
This is a steamy romance, and contains graphic sex scenes.

About the author
Simone Beaudelaire
79 books76 followersHello, I am Simone Beaudelaire, romance enthusiast, freelance proofreader, and novice author.
In real life, I'm a wife, mother, and full time high school French teacher, which doesn't leave me a lot of time for my hobby. Of course, that hasn't stopped me yet.
I hope I can connect with other readers of romance (and other genres. I love to read, and through my beta reading group, I have recommendations in all different categories.)

I love this story!
This is my favorite series (and story) by Simone Beaudelaire. I waited a long time (a few years actually) for her to finish this novel (and trilogy). It was well worth the wait!
I love Daisy's sunshine. She reminds me of Pollyanna, whom I love. Her kindness, respect for the earth, delight of literature & art, and faith is light in the darkness of both Victorian England as well as modern times. It is no wonder is was so healing for Colin's depression.
Colin is relatable. The weight he carries is something most of us can understand. His melancholy is inline with modern moods and his journey is hope-inspiring.
This story has romance, friendship, family, mystery, and emotion. It offers surprises, causes worry, and gives you hope. There's room for tears and giggles. It's definitely an enjoyable read, especially if you love historical fiction or period stories, like I do.
