Books like Slightly Married by Mary Balogh
The Bedwyn family is introduced as a brood of six brothers and sisters, each noted for passion, privilege, and sensuality in the glittering high society of the Regency era. Aidan Bedwyn, the marriage‑shy second son, carries a reputation for cool arrogance yet harbors deep loyalty. He travels to Ringwood Manor to honor a dying soldier’s request and promises to protect the soldier’s sister, only to encounter Eve, a headstrong and fiercely independent woman who rebuffs his protection. Complications arise when a relative threatens to evict Eve, prompting Aidan to offer marriage as a rescue strategy. As London watches the impending union, the arrangement between Aidan and Eve turns into something more intimate and unexpectedly surprising.
