Rules, rebuttals, and rage… signs of reckless behavior, or a path to redemptive love?
In London’s seedy corners, despair and danger lurk. But for the newly minted Baron of Milton, opportunity abounds. His future looks bright when all he needs is a wife—provided he can keep her under control. Unfortunately for Milton, he ends up married to a hellion whose family only brings him greater woes.
Elizabeth Winthrop doesn’t know what to make of the stern, imposing gentleman who pays an exorbitant sum for her hand, but the ensuing trials and tribulations of their courtship and marriage test her like nothing else has. Can a woman as fierce as Elizabeth ever bow to a man as demanding as Milton? And does a bastard disguised as a baron even know how to bend to love?
Trauma and mistrust lead to wounded pride and heartache in this throwback historical romance set in 1839 England. Recalling bodice rippers of yore, The Bastard contains scenes of dubious consent and domestic discipline. Like every Remillard Romance, the novel is steamy yet polite, with intimate encounters written in a more literary style.
Book 2 in The Dubious Mates series.
