Beautiful Viscount, Beastly Bride: A Steamy Victorian Romance

She wants justice. He wants her out of his hair. When a snowstorm traps them together, will cold disdain ignite into blazing passion?

Impetuous, beautiful, and headstrong Lady Annabelle Montrose tracks Viscount Sterling Randall—the scoundrel she’s convinced bears the blame for her brother’s death—to the frigid north to force a confession from him and demand his swift return to London.

But when scheming robbers and disloyal servants leave her stranded in a blizzard, she resentfully seeks refuge in her nemesis’s remote castle instead.

Lord Sterling Randall would know his uninvited houseguest anywhere. She’s the sister of his sister’s late fiancé, the debutante who once took offense at his refusal to fall at her feet, and the sort of pretentious, conniving female he learned to avoid years ago.

She’s also maddeningly alluring, igniting his senses on an elemental level he can’t deny, despite provoking his ire with the scandal she’s invited by showing up at his home sans chaperone. And though Annabelle holds him responsible for her family’s pain, the unmistakable flames of desire burning in her eyes fan his own to fever pitch. But it’s the kind soul she’s hidden beneath years of neglect that truly devastates his hard-won control.

Will the blazing passion that engulfs them light a way to happily-ever-after, or will it reduce two families to ash and leave irreparable destruction in its wake?

Beautiful Viscount, Beastly Bride is the witty third book in Kimberly Keyes’s steamy Victorian “Hidden Treasures” romance series. If you love fixer-upper heroines, enemies-to-lovers, marriages-of-convenience, and delicious scandals, then you’ll adore this spicy tale.

I’m excited you’re here! I’ve gathered all the information you could want about my book—from the page length to the tropes, to the description. I’ve also included an excerpt. I love to write (and read) #histrom series, but each book can stand on its own if you prefer to read out of order.
