Though married for a year, the two have lived entirely separate lives—until circumstances force them together. When Cassandra travels to London to confront her husband over family matters, she is surprised to discover that he is nothing like the cold and uncaring man she imagined.

What begins as a marriage of convenience starts to shift into something more as they clash, flirt, and slowly uncover each other's vulnerabilities. This slow-burn romance explores themes of: Marital estrangement and emotional growth Power dynamics and gender roles in 19th-century society Trust, desire, and communication in relationships With sharp dialogue, well-drawn characters, and a satisfying mix of humor and heart, A Wicked Kind of Husband is a refreshing and empowering love story about two people who must unlearn what they thought they knew—about themselves and each other—in order to truly connect. It’s Book 3 in the Longhope Abbey series, but it works well as a standalone novel.
