Publisher Description
He’s doing what he can to save the Prince Regent’s life . . . but can he save his new marriage as well? Evan Eldridge never meant to be a war hero–he just wanted to fight Napoleon for the future of his country. And he certainly didn’t think that saving the life of a peer would mean being made the Earl of Whitelock. But when the life you save is dear to the Prince Regent, things can change in a hurry. Now Evan has a new title, a manor house in shambles, and a stranger for a bride, all thrust upon him by a grateful ruler. What he doesn’t have are all his memories. Traumatized as a result of his wounds and bravery on the battlefield, Evan knows there’s something he can’t quite remember. It’s important, dangerous–and if he doesn’t recall it in time, will jeopardize not only his marriage but someone’s very life.Readers who enjoy Julie Klassen, Carolyn Miller, and Kristi Ann Hunter will love diving into this brand-new Regency series filled with suspense, aristocratic struggles, and a firm foundation of faith.

My Review:
I loved this book. It’s a well-written, character-driven Regency story that immediately captured my sympathy for Diana. Her situation with her father is a dangerous one. Even though Diana is a beautiful and intelligent young woman, she finds herself in an impossible situation of being required to marry a man of her father’s choosing in order to protect someone she loves. Evan Eldridge finds himself a war hero, and is rewarded by the Prince Regent with a new title, Earl of Whitelock. Included with Evan’s new title is an estate that is in great need of repair. The Prince Regent also decides that Diana and Evan should marry, which throws everyone’s plans into disarray.
The Prince Regent’s “suggestions” to Diana and Evan add some fun to this storyline. At the beginning of their marriage, they face the almost impossible situation of renovating a manor that’s in shambles into a showplace worthy of a visit from the Prince Regent. There’s a serious side to this story, too, as Evan seeks to protect his wife from her treacherous father. There was never a moment in this book that I wanted to put it down. I highly recommend this one!
