An Inconvenient Marriage.William of Anglesea is the free-spirited brother, the charmer, and the diplomat of Sir Arthur's brood. He has little doubt he can use his silver tongue and winsome smile to sweet-talk his way through his new marriage of convenience. But the alliance he's entered into quickly reveals itself to be a rather inconvenient arrangement. Tarnwych Castle is in shambles, its people near to starving, and not least of his challenges is Alice-his intriguing new bride. Raised in duty and service, Alice of Tarnwych hides her fire beneath a prim and rigid exterior. Thrice widowed and thoroughly disillusioned with men, her only wish is to have a child of her own to love. But the more time she spends with her captivating new husband, her heart-and body-begin to desire more. When Alice's behavior takes a dark, disturbing turn, and frequent accidents make it clear someone is intent on ending William's life, he vows to save Tarnwych and find the truth. He hopes to convince Alice to choose a tantalizing future with him over the rigid, long-held beliefs of her past. Together, they must navigate the chaos swirling around them, a danger that threatens their happiness. ***Books in the Sir Arthur's Legacy series include Sweet Bea and My Lady Faye, which come before Conquering William. All can be read standalone, but reading them in order gives you extra insight into the characters. Next sibling to find their happily-ever-after is oldest brother, and heir, Roger, in Defying Roger (previously published as Roger's Bride)***
