The Reluctant Bride
Acerca deste audiolibro
Forced into marriage to legitimise her dead fiance’s unborn child, Emily feels only resentment towards the noble soldier whose marriage proposal has saved her from destitution.
She regards Major Angus McCartney’s actions as opportunistic as she mourns her one true love, Jack.
But Jack led a secret, double life, as Angus well knows.
And Angus is not an opportunist. Too shy to declare himself, he has loved Emily from afar for five long years.
With the loss of Jack’s child cementing Emily’s anger towards Angus, the quiet soldier longs to win her with action and honour – rather than by revealing Jack’s secret.
However, it’s an explosive revelation from Emily’s past that threatens to destroy the burgeoning feeling between noble Angus and his reluctant bride.
A revelation that threatens their very lives.
An intrigue-filled romance with espionage and action for readers who love marriage of convenience stories, and second chance love.

Beverley was seventeen when she bundled up her first 500+ page romance and sent it to a publisher. Rejection followed swiftly. Drowning one’s heroine on the last page, she was informed, was not in line with the expectations of romance readers.
So Beverley became a journalist.
After a whirlwind romance with a handsome Norwegian bush pilot she met in Botswana's beautiful Okavango Delta, Beverley discovered what real romance was all about, saved her heroine from a watery grave in her next manuscript and published her first romance in 2009.
Since then, she’s written more than thirty historical romances laced with mystery and intrigue under the name Beverley Oakley.
She also writes psychological historical mysteries, and Colonial-Africa-set romantic suspense, as B G Nettelton.
