A Marriage of Undead Inconvenience

A Marriage of Undead Inconvenience (2024) Stephanie Burgis (The Unexpected Adventures of Lady and Lord Riven #1)

Set in an alternate 19th century England.

After being kept awake for 48 hours by her unscrupulous aunt and uncle, Margaret has been forced into marriage she didn’t want.

Margaret set her teapot and cup on a side table and braced herself for their first conversation since they’d met at an altar an hour earlier.

And she has to have this conversation without tea.

However, what her new husband has to tell her does not match what she was told.

“However, I must confess that I am still a bit confused. Am I to understand that your relatives claimed they were being forced into this marriage?”

So Margaret decides it’s in her best interest to discover what really happened.

Making an enemy of her unwanted spouse would be no more sensible than alienating her most persnickety academic supervisor.

It was a cute story, even if I didn’t quite grasp how she was able to regain her inheritance
