The Bride Says No
“His pride had made him a fool. A trapped one.
The moment Lady Tara had accepted his marriage offer, he’d known he’d made a mistake.
He didn’t want to be married. He liked being a bachelor. He wallowed in his freedom. He had his mates, a group of the finest sportsmen in London, he had more money than he could imagine spending, and he’d had what mattered to him most—his father’s respect, or so he had thought.
Penevey had wanted Blake to marry the Davidson chit. He’d advised Blake that it was time... for him to be respectably settled and the marriage would be a good one for any children that might come of it.
Children had been the right argument for Blake. He planned to have them someday, and he didn’t want them to suffer from the shame of his dubious parentage or the vicious teasing he had received in school. It had not been easy being Penevey’s bastard. Blake had earned the respect of his peers, but he’d had to constantly prove himself. They had tested him hard. Meanwhile, his younger half brother Arthur, the duke’s legitimate heir, was accepted everywhere in spite of being a horse’s ass.MoreLess
