Full Synopsis
As the fires of war raged around him, Lord Alleyne Bedwyn was thrown from his horse and left for dead—only to awaken in the bedchamber of a ladies' brothel. Suddenly the dark, handsome diplomat has no memory of who he is or how he got there—yet of one thing he is certain: The angel who nurses him back to health is the woman he vows to make his own. But like him, Rachel York is not who she seems. A lovely young woman caught up in a desperate circumstance, she must devise a scheme to regain her stolen fortune. The dashing soldier she rescued from near-death could be her savior in disguise. There is just one condition: she must pose as his wife—a masquerade that will embroil them in a sinful scandal, where a man and a woman court impropriety with each daring step . . . with every taboo kiss that can turn passionate strangers into the truest of lovers.

Contains mature themes.

"As always, Rosalyn Landor's narration is smoothly capable and clear no matter how various the characters she voices." ---Sound Commentary

"Balogh once again delivers a clean, sprightly tale rich in both plot and character. Rachel's colorful brothel companions steal almost every scene, and silver-tongued Alleyne easily charms his way into the reader's heart." ---Publishers Weekly Starred Review

"Even though Balogh has already used the device of a pretend fiance or spouse in the Slightly series, it hasn’t become stale, and like all her other feel-good romances, this one is so captivating one is loath to reach the last page." ---Booklist

"Her superb insight into all the myriad facets of the era, from costumes to battles, allows her to create unique plotlines and unforgettable characters. Reading a Balogh romance is better than eating chocolate!" ---RT Book Reviews

"Rosalyn Landor has a place among the stars of audio narration and IS the voice of Balogh’s work!" ---Fangs, Wands and Fairy Dust
