Bouquet of Blue Sailors

She wants in the family. He wants out.

Sally Digby has secured her beloved sister's happiness with her arranged marriage into the powerful Beckwith family. But when her new husband leaves a goodbye message in her wedding bouquet, and a possible scandal in his wake, Sally discovers her heart is more invested than she thought and can't let the slight go unanswered.

Ren Beckwith is on a mission to right the wrongs of his family's past, and the settlements from his arranged marriage are the final pieces he needs. But when he discovers his new bride has stowed away on the ship meant for his escape from the obligations of the Beckwith name, Ren finds he can't help but be drawn to the woman his family has selected for him.

A Bouquet of Blue Sailors is a closed-door Victorian romcom novella, filled with forced proximity, island vibes, an abandoned estate, and a runaway groom who can't resist his beautiful bride.
