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.

  • ""Christian Hill, lord Grandiston, salva a una joven de ser violada y termina obligado a casarse con ella, aunque lo hace bajo nombre falso. Diez años más tarde la joven, Dorcas Caroline Frogatt, convencida de que su antiguo salvador murió en la guerra, desea casarse con sir Elyam Colne. Christian, por su parte, se ha convertido en un personaje poco fiable que ha despilfarrado su fortuna y que necesita, urgentemente, contraer matrimonio con alguna dama de alta sociedad. Pero cuando Dorcas se entera de que tal vez su antiguo marido está vivo, decide ir a buscarlo a Doncaster. Ambos coinciden en una posada en el camino aunque están muy cambiados y no se reconocen. Sin embargo, entre ellos existe una química imposible de soslayar que amenaza con echar chispas. Ahora Christian se ha propuesto seducir a esa mujer sensual y misteriosa, sin saber que puede tratarse de su verdadera esposa, que ha venido a echar por tierra todos sus planes." --P. [4] of cover"

But then he left to pursue his military career, putting the surreal event out of his mind. Until someone begins making inquiries about a man named Christopher Hill--the alias he used when he wed Dorcas years before...."
