A Stroke of Good Fortune

She has never been loved. He is determined to love her. But someone will do anything to keep them apart. Arabella Northwick has spent her life unseen and unloved—first by her father, then by a husband who cared little for her. Now widowed, she dares to hope for a fresh start with her baby son. But her cruel brother-in-law has other plans, determined to control her future and steal her child if she disobeys. Theo Dawson has always known his duty—to inherit and run his family’s textile mill, regardless of his own dreams. But when he meets the beautiful and kindhearted Arabella, he realizes that duty alone is not enough. She needs a protector, and he longs to be the one she can trust. Yet their path to happiness is anything but simple. With Arabella’s future held hostage and Theo trapped by family expectations, love alone won’t be enough to free them. Only a stroke of good fortune can give them the chance they so desperately need. A heartfelt, clean, and suspenseful Regency romance filled with longing, resilience, and the promise of love against the odds. Content Note: This is a closed-door, wholesome Regency romance suitable for all ages. While completely clean, this story contains elements of psychological manipulation and emotional abuse from the villain.
