Trapped at the Altar [Mass Market Paperback] Feather, Jane

Ariadne Carfax has been promised to her cousin Ivor since childhood — a political arrangement between two feudal families living outside the law in the wild borderlands of 17th-century England. She's resigned to duty, even as she dreams of another man. But when their families are pardoned by the king and forced to rejoin society, everything changes. The move to London brings danger, intrigue, and impossible choices. Jane Feather writes historical romance with bite — her heroines aren't waiting to be rescued, and her heroes aren't flawless. This is a story about loyalty tested by desire, arranged marriages that turn complicated, and what happens when survival depends on playing a role you never wanted. If you like your Regency-adjacent romance with politics, tension, and characters who feel like real people caught in impossible circumstances, pour a glass of wine and settle in.
