Description
When Rebecca’s quick thinking saves the life of a young
girl, she unwittingly attracts the attention of the child’s
dashing brother, Lieutenant Nicholas Avery. As that
attention turns flirtatious, Rebecca is forced to tell him
the truth: she is secretly engaged—to the one man her
family would never approve of. Fortunately, Lieutenant
Avery is a navy man with no wish to marry, or so they
both assume as they enter into a friendship. Rebecca hopes
to change her family’s mind about her betrothed, but the
more she comes to know the handsome lieutenant, the
more she wonders if she promised her hand too hastily.
After all her carefully laid plans are shattered during a
family crisis, Rebecca must force her heart to decide.
Should she stay true to the promise she made or fight for
the future she’s only just begun to imagine?
Joanna Barker firmly believes that romance makes everything better, which is why she has fallen in love with writing Regency romances. When she's not typing away on her next book, you'll find her listening to podcasts, eating her secret stash of chocolate, or adding things to her Amazon cart. She thinks being an author is the second-best job in the world, right after being a mom. She is just a little crazy about her husband and three wild-but-lovable kids.
