Sweet Gilded Age Historical Romance

The Newport Brides Series

Eleanor: The Newport Innkeeper

One storm. One secret. One choice that could cost everything.
Newport, Rhode Island, 1893.

The Kensington fortune is vast—steel, railroads, shipping—and bound by one unyielding condition: the three Kensington sons must marry within a year…or lose everything.

Gabriel Kensington knows what marriage means—an alliance to secure power and preserve status. Unwilling to surrender to expectation, he rides out of Newport under cover of darkness, seeking escape. A violent storm drives him off course—and straight into a failing roadside inn far removed from the glittering world he left behind. 

There, he meets Eleanor. A widowed innkeeper fighting to save her livelihood from a grasping brother-in-law, Eleanor has no patience for strangers—least of all one calling himself “Gabe Kent.” Yet something about him refuses to fit: his quiet authority, his practiced ease…his interest in her.

Drawn together despite themselves, the connection between them deepens with every passing day. But Gabriel’s secret shadows every moment. And Eleanor’s hard-won independence leaves no room for betrayal.

Because the truth is simple—and unforgiving: A man like Gabriel Kensington does not choose a woman like Eleanor.

But when love refuses to obey the rules of class and consequence, he must decide—

Honor his inheritance… Or risk everything for the one woman he was never meant to love.
