The Secret of the Silk House

Catherine Ashby has inherited her father's debts, half a Spitalfields silk workshop, and a co-owner who refuses to sell. To satisfy the bank, she must marry weaver Thomas Wren — a man she has argued with for three years over patterns, wages, and where the kettle belongs. Neither wants love. Both want their looms working. Then a rival workshop steals their design and the bank calls its loan, and the marriage of convenience becomes the only thing holding the business together. A warm, working-class Regency historical romance of silk, sabotage, and a partnership that becomes something rare.
