The Secret Wedding
Caro Hill must do one thing before she accepts Sir Eyam Colne’s offer of marriage: find out if her first husband is truly dead. Ten years earlier, Caro, nee Dorcas Caroline Froggatt, was hastily wed to a soldier calling himself Jack Hill. The next day, Hill left England for Canada, and soon afterward Caro’s aunt informed her that her new husband had been killed in battle. While Caro desperately searches for proof of Hill’s death, Viscount Grandiston suddenly turns up in Yorkshire, inquiring about Dorcas’ first marriage. Two perfectly matched, subtly nuanced protagonists—both with their share of secrets—clash with superbly sexy results in the latest addition to Beverley’s Georgian Secrets trilogy. Set in the same world as her beloved Malloren tales, Beverley proves again that she can be counted on to come up with clever and creative new ways of mixing passion and intrigue to create a beguiling love story. --John Charles
