Teaser Tuesdays is a weekly bookish meme, hosted by MizB of Should Be Reading. Anyone can play along! Just do the following:
- Grab your current read
- Open to a random page
- Share two (2) "teaser" sentences from somewhere on that page
- BE CAREFUL NOT TO INCLUDE SPOILERS! (MAKE SURE THAT WHAT YOU SHARE DOESN'T GIVE TOO MUCH AWAY! YOU DON'T WANT TO RUIN THE BOOK FOR OTHERS!)
- Share the title & author, too, so that other TT participants can add the book to their TBR Lists if they like your teasers!
As soon as Marcus Brookstone lifts his bride's veil, he sees he's been tricked. He made a bargain with God—to marry a good, Christian girl if his mother recovered from illness. But Marcus intended to marry pretty Amanda, not stubborn Constance. His next plan, to ignore his new wife, fails as well when Constance makes it clear that she wants a true union.
Constance Somerton doesn't dare reveal that she's been enamored of Marcus for years. The man believes love is for weaklings. Someone needs to teach him about marriage's blessings. Someone who sees beyond his arrogance to the tender heart beneath. Someone exactly like Constance….

"This is my home now, Tom Harper, as much as yours," she said, anger strengthening her voice. "You telling me I'm no good doesn't make it true. It just makes you the kind of man my father was."
It was the worst insult she could think of, and anyone acquainted with the Bligh family knew it.
Tom's face turned a deep, brick-red.
"That might have been an exaggeration," she muttered. Too late - Tom had stalked from the room, surprisingly light on his feet for such a big man.
