heartwarming tale about the healing power of love

Madeline has been badly wounded by her upbringing and finds it impossible to trust men. Running away from her uncle, who plans to practically sell her to pay off his debts, she bumps into Philip, the Earl of Pemberton. He's in need of a wife and as he's going to Yorkshire to live on his estate it gives Madeline the perfect escape from her uncle. The marriage is only for six months so that he can claim his inheritance - not a new ploy in a Regency romance, but one which works well here - and over the six months Madeline has a chance to come to know and trust him. A real feel good book.

a fast paced regency

If you love regency novels with lots of action and fiesty characters then you will love this book.After witnessing what love and marriage did to her parents, Madeline Delware is determined that she will not have the same fate and so escapes from her cruel uncle's intention to marry her off. However she runs headlong into Lord Philip Pemberton and finds herself agreeing to join him in a six-month marriage of convenience.The thing that really lifts this regency from what might have been a familiar plot is the backdrop of espionage and adventure Amanda Grange has created, which helps the book move along at a cracking pace. Added to this is lots of wonderful dailogue, historical detail and subtle humour making it all together a wonderful read.
