She asks:

Heya,

I am searching for a book title I read many years ago. It is a historical romance novel. An arranged marriage.

The hero only wants a wife to mother his many non-biological children. Even when marriage and refusing to consumate the marriage, babies keep being left at the castle door with a note “it is yours”.

I would love to finish reading the novel.
