Necessary Arrangements #1-3
Necessary Arrangements: Books 1-3
Three ladies. Three impossible decisions. Three unlikely bargains.
A Deal with the Earl
Theirs is a marriage of convenience
She loves another...
Lady Julie has dreamed of marrying her childhood sweetheart since she was four years old. Unfortunately, her father has other plans. He has his sights set on her marrying an earl. When she is forced into an unwanted betrothal, Julie needs to make a choice: wait for her true love and destroy her honor, or make a deal with the forbidding earl.
He vowed to never love again...
Robert, the Earl of Clydesdale, has sworn off love. A marriage of convenience is more to his liking. So he wasn’t about to turn away a beautiful young lady’s plea for help in exchange for her hand in marriage. But once he spends more time with his betrothed, his icy heart begins to melt. Only his betrothed is in love with another. Now Robert has a choice, either lock his heart away and live in misery, or take a risk and fight for the woman he loves.
Agreement with the Soldier
A broken soldier...
John Godfrey, the Baron of Ashbury, has spent most of his life as a soldier. He was never meant to become a baron. But circumstances have changed and now that he's back home, he has to face another battle - saving his failing estates. Marriage to an heiress seems like the simplest solution and finding a lady of his heart turns out to be an easy task. But can a beautiful, clever and free-spirited lady truly love the broken shell of a man he's become?
And his lady angel...
Miss Samantha Lewis has never felt anything akin to an infatuation she feels for John. Marriage to a man she already desires sounds like a dream come true. Only the moment the vows are spoken, he's changed and turned into a surly beast. Samantha will not give up on her idea of wedded bliss, even if it means turning both their lives upside down to achieve it.
She thinks their match is made in heaven, he would wager it is doomed.
A Bargain with the Rake
A duchess determined to love...
Evie Montgomery, the Duchess of Somerset, has promised her grandfather she will marry for love, and she is determined to keep said promise. Only the man she loves is the most notorious rake in the country. And he hasn't spared her a glance in the seven years since she's known him. Winning his hand in marriage isn't hard, winning his heart, however, is another matter entirely.
The rake she cannot forget...
The last thing Gabriel, the Viscount St. Clare, wants in this life is marriage. However, when Evie appears on his doorstep, she proposes a bargain, he can't refuse. Marrying the duchess to gain her fortune is tempting, but not as tempting as the duchess herself.
When the past comes a knocking, they realize that to keep love in their lives, they have to give up much more than either of them has bargained for.

::: A Deal with the Earl :::
A slow burn, marriage of convenience regency romance that kept you engaged with the story. I enjoyed the main characters and the story was well crafted. Robert, the Earl of Clydesdale, has sworn off love and Lady Julie has dreamed of marrying her childhood sweetheart since she was four years old. It's not a good start but what a wonderful happy ending.
::: An Agreement with the Soldier :::
An enjoyable story of a marriage of convenience that turns into so much more. John and Samantha are wonderful characters and their journey to love well crafted. It isn't an easy journey as John is a former soldier plagued by nightmares, thank fully he has an understanding, loving and patient wife in Sam.
::: A Bargain with the Rake :::
An enticing and steamy regency romance that draws you in page after page. A Duchess and a rake, Evie and Gabriel are so wrong for each other makes it all the more satisfying when they reach their happily ever after.
