Overview

When friendship turns to desire, only love can make them whole... Gideon Bray, Marquess of Swanleigh, has always been a rake-a reckless, charming scoundrel never meant for happily-ever-afters. Yet, behind his careless smile lies a man scarred by neglect, and desperate for the family he was denied. Only one woman has ever seen past the mask: Caroline Wells, his dearest friend and the lone female in his notorious circle of comrades. Cast out by both her family and Society after a youthful scandal, Caroline long ago learned to live by her own rules. Gideon stood by her, offering his loyalty when the rest of the world turned its back. But when one night of unbridled passion shatters this boundary between them, Gideon shocks them both with an offer of marriage, though neither of them knows quite how to transform years of friendship into the intimacy of husband and wife. As they navigate a marriage of fiery attraction, Gideon locates Oliver, the half-brother he's sought for decades. At last, the dream of family feels within his reach. But shadows cling to Oliver's past...and enemies soon strike at the women the brothers cherish most.

Author Information

Author, wife, mother, animal lover, and owner of an obscenely large To-Be-Read book stash. Kelsey is an Illinois native. 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 hands. 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. When she's not reading or writing, she's usually watching reruns of her favorite shows, streaming just about any true crime show; 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 and is glued to the TV whenever le Tour de France is on. The Baron's Folly is her first published novel.
