Actions they took together caused Kam's mother to loose her job or so they thought for so many years. Turns out Agnes grandfather couldn't keep his hands to himself and once Kam's mother turned him down he was looking for any reason to get rid of her. They just happened to give it to him.

The Billionaire’s Convenient Bride
Liz Fielding
Kam Faulkner was forced to leave Priddy Castle with his mother because of his attraction to Agnes Prideaux, the owner’s granddaughter. Life was hard for both Kam and his mother, but he worked hard and is now a billionaire with revenge on his mind. He is going to go back to Priddy castle and buy it. Agnes has inherited the Castle and wants to make it a B & B and let people experience what it is like to stay in the castle. Unfortunately, the castle is falling apart and Agnes does everything she can to repair it. Along comes Kam with an offer she can’t refuse… he will pay for the repairs if she marries him. Agnes never forgot Kam neither did her heart. Kam soon realizes that he never got over Agnes either. What started out as revenge turns into a second chance at love.
I really enjoyed this story. The characters are likable, and you root for them to get their second chance at love. Both Kam and Agnes had to get past what was to the present. It is a cute love story,

The Billionaire's Convenient Bride is a sweet, nostalgic read that contemporary romance readers will love. Kam Faulkner is now a billionaire and he's back in his childhood town to take back what he thinks he deserves. He's all ready to get what was taken from him but then he sees her...his childhood crush that he's never forgotten. I loved the chemistry between Kam and Agnes. They have so much history and complicated family dynamics in their past. Anges' family fired Kam's mom after a misunderstanding and it completely changed Kam's world. Agnes is beholden to her own family's drama and wishes she could change what happened to Kam. This book delivers a well earned Happy Ever After and it will have readers cheering. Readers who love second chances and the childhood friends trope will find an enjoyable read here.

Couldn't help myself when I stumbled upon this.


Year ago Kam's mom was fired from her job over at Priddy Castle right after Kam had been caught with Agnes who is the boss' daughter. Years later, Kam comes back with billions of dollars in his pocket and revenge on the mind. He is going to buy the castle but then when he gets there Agnes owns it now. What to do? Oh yes...marry the chit and take the castle for himself! MWUAHAHAHA. Oh wait...is that feels he is feeling?? Oh dear.


I hated Kam so much. Yes, I get his mom was screwed over royally and he was discriminated against. I totally understand. BUUUUUUUUUT it doesn't mean you can treat people like crap. Especially Agnes. She was treated like garbage by her family after being caught with you. I'm surprised she was even allowed to inherit the castle. SMH. Poor girl.


Honestly...if I was Agnes I wouldn't want to marry Kam. I would be scared of him killing me after I give him a kid just so he can have the castle. Maybe I'm paranoid but I don't trust Kam as far as I can throw him.


The love took forever. Which makes sense. Agnes didn't trust him at first, but she still has a lot of feelings for him. Poor girl. But yes, I'm glad there was no insta-love or insta-lust. Lots of hurts and they have business to conduct first. Being


This wasn't bad. I did get a little bored here and there. Some major lulls for sure and it didn't help I loathed Kam. The ending was sweet though.


Overall, I enjoyed reading the story. I wanted to like Kam but he was a jerk. Poor Agnes. I wanted her to be happy and have the castle be successful. Revenge to business-deal to marriage to love. A nice HEA and it is quick. So if you are looking for a quickie this is a good one for you. I'll stamp it with 3 stars.

After Kingston’s intense, lengthy Desire Lines, I needed a romance palate cleanser and Liz Fielding’s signature gently-created world was the perfect choice. Though I fulfilled my wish for bluebell gardens, charmingly crumbling castles, and cute dogs, Fielding’s The Billionaire’s Convenient Bride also delivered an emotional punch. An ominous note rang from scene one. Kam Faulkner arrives at Priddy Castle with humiliating memories and a desire for revenge against heroine Agnès Prideaux. Agnès and Kam had grown up together, running wild and free on castle grounds and surrounding land and water. Later, as teens, their childhood bond was complicated by physical attraction. But the cook’s son and castle “princess” was a love that could not be; when Agnès’s grandfather caught wind of it, he fired Kam’s mother, winning Kam’s resentment and hatred. Kam and his mother had to leave their sole home and income source. In the intervening years, Kam worked hard and achieved huge financial success.

As Kam’s fortunes rose, Agnès’s dwindled. She is now sole care-giver to her Alzheimer’s-suffering grandmother and a financially-strapped, dilapidated castle and its environs. Agnès tries to gain income by renting it as a B&B, but the repairs and renovations to make it truly viable aren’t affordable. When Kam arrives, he is already aware of Agnès’s desperate situation and bent on using it for his purposes. Angry and blaming her for the loss of his and his mother’s home and security, he plans to make her an offer she can’t refuse: ” … he wasn’t here on some sentimental pilgrimage.” The best laid plans, as we know, often stray when the heart calls. As Kam and Agnès reminisce, attraction and love resurface. Kam moves from vengeful to wanting to help to, when he learns of the entail on the castle, proposing marriage. Agnès, on the other hand, has neither financial designs nor revenge fantasies about Kam: she loves him, has always loved him: “Kam had never been cosy. He’d been a dangerous lad; she’d adored him on sight.” Love, guilt, revenge, desire, yearning, nostalgia: these make up Fielding’s romance.

I enjoyed Kam and Agnès’s adult re-acquaintance and memories of the island, garden, and animals. The through-a-glass-darkly memories of young, budding love were as fraught and lovely as young love can be. I loved how Agnès was strong and vulnerable: strong to go it alone, to give up her own dreams of studying horticulture to offer what she can to her employees, vulnerable to admit how much she loves Kam, even when uncertain about his reasons for returning and motivation for offering marriage. Agnès wants to do what’s best. She has integrity and is emotionally sensitive: “Telling him that she was sorry would be meaningless but maybe hearing him out would help him draw a line under the past so that he, at least, could move on. It would be painful, humiliating, but he deserved that courtesy from her.” Agnès acts with integrity and is also witty, humorous, caring, and perceptive. I was disappointed that she had a bizarrely suspicious attitude toward Kam near the end: it wasn’t in keeping with who she was. Though Kam is, for the most part, admirable, droll, honest, and loving, he too had bizarre turns of personality. He arrived as avenging angel and turned to care-giver hero without any change of heart and mind, blooped from one to the other without any internal change.

On the other hand, the body knows what the mind and heart have yet to realize. Fielding’s depiction is lovely: “That moment when she had seemed to lose her balance and he’d reached out and caught her arm. For a fraction of a second he’d had the feeling that all he had to do was draw her close, complete the circle and his world would come right.” This is what sees me returning to Fielding: the lovely writing. Agnès remembers Kam as a guitar-strumming teen: “Did he still play the guitar? The thought slipped into her mind without warning, a melancholy minor chord rippling through the woods at night as fresh in her memory as if she were leaning out of her bedroom window to catch the sound.” Or, Kam’s simple avowal of what Agnès means to him: ” ‘ … when I think of home, this is the place in my head. In my heart.’ ” With Miss Austen, we agree Fielding’s The Billionaire’s Convenient Bride offers “real comfort,” Emma.

THE BILLIONAIRE’S CONVENIENT BRIDE by author Liz Fielding is an April 2019 release by Harlequin Romance series.

Kam Faulkner returned to Priddy Castle with the intention to buy it. He knew the owners were in dire straits now. It would be his revenge as his mother had lost her job when he was caught kissing Agnes Prideaux. But with the old man gone and only Agnes struggling to make ends meet, he ended up helping her. After all they still were attracted to each other.

Dare Agnes trust Kam now after so many years? And could she trust her own heart? Would she say yes to Kam’s proposition for a convenient marriage?

THE BILLIONAIRE’S CONVENIENT BRIDE is a sweet romance about past betrayals and second chances. Author Liz Fielding brought this emotional romance to the pages. Her writing showcases Agnes so perfectly. Agnes’ struggles, her triumphs, her strengths and her fears, and ultimately her heart is bared out on the pages for the readers.

Highly recommended for all readers of romance.
