The Hotelier’s Bride: The Balfour Hotel, #2

By Amanda Davis

Can a plan to produce an heir, combined with a plan of deception and betrayal, lead to true love?

 

Xavier Balfour has an ugly envy simmering in his soul.

Each day, it grows like a weed wrapping its vines around the decency in his heart.

As Xavier watches his legacy fall into the hands of his sister's new husband,

He concocts a plan to produce an heir.

Entrusting his mother to play matchmaker,

It matters little to Xavy whom he weds.

The last thing he expects is to fall for Lady Elizabeth the moment he sets eyes upon her.

 

Elizabeth knows she cannot allow herself to indulge in feelings for her betrothed.

She and her mother, the Dutchess of Holden, have a plan of their own.

A plan that includes deception and, ultimately, betrayal.

A plan that does not include falling head over heels for the handsome Xavy Balfour.

 

If you like clean romance with suspenseful twists and turns and heartwarming endings, you will love The Balfour Hotel series.

 

THE HOTELIER'S BRIDE is a 30,000 word historical regency romance with a touch of suspense and intrigue and an inspirational theme of sweet love. It is clean and wholesome with no cliffhangers, and a guaranteed happily ever after ending.
