Synopsis

New York Times bestselling author Shirlee Busbee weaves the intricate, unforgettable story of a chance meeting, a forced marriage--and the surprise of a love so passionate it cannot be denied. . .

Love Is Sweetest When It's Unexpected

Nell Anslowe and Julian, Earl of Wyndham, are an unlikely couple in every respect. Injured in a riding accident ten years ago, Nell was left with a fiancé who abandoned their engagement and the firm belief that she will never marry. The abrupt end of Julian's unhappy marriage formed his resolve to remain a bachelor until the end of his days. But as Julian chases down his reckless stepsister, he seeks shelter from a summer storm in a cottage--and finds it occupied by Nell, who has escaped from a fortune-seeking libertine bent on carrying her off to Gretna Green. Discovered together by Nell's family, the couple's hasty wedding is the only way to save Nell from scandal. But the polite union each of them expects soon ignites into something much more powerful. . .

From Booklist

At 29, Miss Nell Anslowe is viewed as "on the shelf" by Regency society. Ten years earlier, an accident damaged her leg and left her suffering from strange and disturbing dreams. She has been content spending time with her doting family, so she takes little heed of Lord Tynedale, knowing his interest in her stems only from her status as an heiress. What she does not count on is Lord Tynedale's desperation to keep from bankruptcy. He kidnaps her, and only quick thinking and a storm save her. Julian Weston, Earl of Wyndham, is on a fool's errand when his horse bolts, and he takes refuge in the same abandoned building in which Nell is hiding. They are discovered and forced to wed. The challenge of their unexpected marriage is overshadowed by Nell's dreams and the discovery that the sick and brutal visions may actually be happening in real life. Busbee seamlessly meshes Regency romance with haunting suspense, keeping fans riveted to the end. Engelmann, Patty
