A notorious rake with a ruined estate. A fortune he intends to claim. A wife he never expected to crave.
Wickedly charming and famously untethered, Rafe Hart, Viscount Blackwood, has never believed in love—only pleasure—and he intends to keep it that way. But when tragedy strikes down his beloved sister and her husband, Rafe is left with three young wards…and desire must give way to duty. This leaves him with only one way forward--he needs a wife. And with the impoverished estate he inherited, he had to find a wealthy one.
Victoria Rockford, an American shipping heiress newly arrived in London, struggles to find her place among the ton—until a dangerously handsome nobleman offers laughter, passion, and the promise of belonging. Rafe is everything Victoria shouldn’t want…and everything she does.
What begins as a calculated courtship soon ignites into something far more intoxicating. Rafe wins Victoria’s trust, her father’s approval, and her hand in marriage—without revealing the full truth of his responsibilities.
But marriage has a way of exposing secrets…
A sensual Regency romance about redemption, responsibility, and the kind of love worth reforming for.

About Kelsey
Author, wife, mother, animal-lover, and owner of an obscene amount of books. Kelsey is an Illinois native but spent some time in North Carolina while in college. She fostered her love of reading and writing after a heart condition sidelined her childhood. Her passions continued to develop long after surgery restored her health. To this day it's difficult to find her without a book in her hand. She dove headfirst into the romance genre (perhaps) a bit earlier than the recommended minimum age and became rather adept at disguising her reading material. Once exposed to the glittering world of historical romance, she was forever changed. Her love of writing and all things British translated into her future collegiate studies in both English (with an emphasis on Brit Lit) and History (mainly British and European). She would go on to earn Bachelor's Degrees in both English and History, as well as a Master's Degree in English. She finished penning her first novel fresh out of high school and has never looked back. After a few more years, she was inspired to write The Baron's Folly -- her first publication. When she's not writing or reading, Kelsey is usually watching reruns of her favorite shows ("Schitt's Creek", "The Office", "The Middle", "The Good Place", "Parks and Rec", "New Girl", etc.), or streaming just about any true crime show on Netflix; obsessively collecting architectural designs, crafts, and recipes on Pinterest; or sketching, crocheting, cooking, and spending time with her family. She is a diehard supporter of the Oxford Comma (in case you couldn't tell) and is glued to the TV whenever le Tour de France is on.
Coming Soon!
