The Bride, the Birds, and the Bees

Lady Prudence Barsley and Mr. Jeremy Ward strike a deal that defies convention: her dowry for his store's expansion, his support for her research, and no hearts involved.

But as they navigate the delicate choreography of a marriage built for practicality, a different kind of partnership begins to hatch. Prudence throws herself into her study of the city's avian residents, finding independence within her own household. Jeremy remains a steadfast companion, respectful of her boundaries, admirably composed, and increasingly terrible at hiding what he actually wants.

When whispered confessions and stolen moments stir emotions neither of them prepared for, the carefully constructed walls around their hearts begin to crumble, rather inconveniently, given the terms of their arrangement (and the excessive number of in-laws inhabiting their guest rooms).

Amidst foggy parks and formal drawing rooms, The Bride, the Bird, and the Bees unravels a tale of unexpected love, self-discovery, and the distracting problem of falling for one's own spouse.

Perfect for fans of Julia Quinn's witty banter, Evie Dunmore's bluestocking heroines, and Tessa Dare's marriage-of-convenience charm - The Bride, the Bird, and the Bees delivers a cozy, slow-burn romance with dry wit, a house full of uninvited in-laws, and a heroine more interested in pigeons than propriety.
