Heartwarming Historical Romance
This is a thoroughly romantic historical romance that brings a fresh, grounded spin to the classic Beauty and the Beast trope.
Lady Penelope is a widow doing everything in her power to protect her young son from her vile brother-in-law, Charles. Charles is a villain through and through—essentially a ruthless Gaston, but far worse—who wants to take away her son and force Penelope into becoming his mistress. Seeking safety, Penelope moves near the estate of Malcolm, the Duke of Brigrock. Malcolm is a large, heavily scarred war veteran who deliberately lives as a recluse to avoid society.
The connection begins simply when Penelope’s son repeatedly sneaks onto the Duke’s property to play with his dog. Once Malcolm discovers the dangerous blackmail Penelope faces, he steps in. He first offers to mentor the boy, but as Charles grows increasingly aggressive, Malcolm takes a bold step and proposes marriage to offer legal protection.
From there, Malcolm works hard to truly win Penelope’s heart. He does not rely on empty gestures; instead, he completely secures her love by genuinely loving and protecting her son. It is a wonderfully satisfying, emotional story with strong characters and a hero you cannot help but root for.
