Taming the Thorn of Blackwell by Fanny Finch

A rose may be full of thorns, but that does not take away from its beauty… And lucky is the man that finds a way to hold it without getting hurt…

Selina Griffiths created a fierce reputation for herself, after being forced to run a Duchy all by herself. But it was all worth it to protect her son’s heritage. Now though, she finds herself in need of a husband, but who would be brave enough to get close to the Thorn of Blackwell…?
Joshua Beechworth is finally home and, as the Earl of Norfolk, he is expected to do business with the Blackwell estate. He finds that he is not at all worried about the Duchess’ formidable presence, on the contrary, he always liked a challenge…
A simple business arrangement will end up entailing more than either of them expected…
Clinging to the memory of her late husband, Selina hides behind the wall of thorns she has built around her heart, but Joshua may well be the only person capable of breaching her defenses.
Although his heart may get stung in the process…
