As a war widow, Cathleen Selton is unfortunately at the mercy of her unscrupulous brother for a place to live. When he brings home a drunk Devon, the Earl of Malton, to tuck into bed with her so he might blackmail the Earl, she is livid. Yet, as nightmares strike Devon, Cathleen is there to sooth them away. Instead of paying her wastrel brother off, he decides to marry her.This has the makings of a marriage of convenience, but there really is so much more going on here that I don’t want to spoil for any potential readers. Devon is genuinely attracted to Cathleen’s beauty, kindness, and determination. He has more reasons that those for offering for her, but is afraid of what she’ll think of him if she ever finds out…which we know she will eventually.I really liked the development of Devon and Cathleen’s relationship. I really felt like I got to know them through their conversations with each other and with others.This was a short, sweet historical romance I really enjoyed. I would defiantly read this author again.
