Synopsis
There are many things an English lord might encounter on the grounds of his wintry estate. Trees. Birds. Perhaps a wandering gamekeeper. Instead, the Earl of Belhaven finds a woman in the snow, unconscious and nearly frozen to death. Then her luminous gray eyes open just long enough for her to plead, “Don’t let them get me.”
Now Jasper Maycott has his hands full with a woman who has absolutely no memory of who she is or where she came from—to say nothing of her name! Just a gold ring, some fine clothes, and a penchant for pert conversation. But while “Jane” dresses and speaks quite like a lady, Jasper can’t make any assumptions. After all, she could be a crafty fortune hunter…albeit a charming and unutterably beautiful one. Only there’s no room for romantic love in the Earl of Belhaven’s world. There is just grim duty, a lingering sense of loss, and the knowledge that love—in any form—can only bring heartbreak in its wake.
Thoughts
Thank you, Emma Theriault, for curing my craving for a Regency romance book! This story drew me in as we uncovered our FMC ‘s mysterious past and romantic future. I enjoyed not only learning about the true identity of “Jane,” but also witnessing her slow-burn romance with Jasper. A wee bit slow in the middle, the story then regained its momentum and provided a happy conclusion. With references to Jane Austen, this is a lovely choice for fans of historical romance books. This cover is darling, too!
