He needed an heir. She needed a future. Neither expected love to rewrite their contract.

Lord Adrian Ashworth is the last of his line. Cynical, severe, and burdened by a crumbling legacy, he views marriage as a necessary evil. He despises the artifice of London society women, seeking instead a practical solution to his problem: a wife who is sturdy, obedient, and capable of bearing the Ashworth heir.

He finds his answer in Sarah Thorne, a parson’s daughter tending her garden with calloused hands and quiet dignity. She is everything the Season’s debutantes are not—grounded, real, and desperate to save her father’s failing parish.

The Deal: A marriage of convenience. Adrian provides the funds to save St. Jude’s; Sarah provides the son he demands. There is to be no affection, only duty.

But life at Blackwood Manor is a gilded cage. As Adrian’s obsession with protecting his unborn heir turns into suffocating control, Sarah finds herself trapped by the very man she swore to obey. Yet, beneath the Viscount’s icy exterior burns a passion that neither of them anticipated. When a storm threatens both Sarah and the child, Adrian must decide what truly matters: the legacy of the past, or the woman who holds his future in her hands.

The Viscount’s Helpless Wench Bride is a steamy Regency romance featuring a possessive alpha hero, a marriage of convenience, and a hard-won Happy Ever After.
