An Alluring Brew

When a Chinese woman becomes a royal gift, only a marriage of convenience can save them both.

Chinese apothecary Yihui never expected to be delivered to the Prince Regent like a bolt of silk—a living bribe from merchants desperate for English favor. Prinny can’t accept her, so he commands the Earl of Artanges to marry her instead.
Max has spent years managing the Prince’s whims, but being ordered to wed a foreign stranger tests even his loyalty. Yet from the moment he sees Yihui’s courage, he’s captivated. Her healing knowledge may be foreign to English medicine, but her fierce spirit speaks a language his heart understands perfectly.
Trapped in a royal decree neither wanted, Max and Yihui must navigate a pretend engagement while very real enemies circle. Max’s duty transforms into a desire more potent than any brew. But when their charade ends, Yihui must choose: claim her freedom or trust her heart to a man whose world will never fully accept her.
