Seven years after fleeing to India brokenhearted, Tommy Halifax returns to be knighted for his service to the crown, and of course he would run into his first love, the more beautiful than ever Eliza Trueheart.
Widowed already, Eliza is no longer a careless flirt, - in fact she spends her time looking out for such wayward young women. She finds Tommy to have become quite the gentleman, too, and she wants to be honest with him, but she can't decide what's right: making up for her years as a wanton, or falling willingly into Tommy's arms...
"This sweet romance relies on the tried and true marriage-of-convenience theme, but Greenwood puts her own spin on a charming tale. " - RT Book Reviews, 4 Stars
"I liked how Eliza was trying very hard to figure out how to find a balance between the wild child she was, and her idea that in order to be a respectable person she needs to deny herself any pleasure or fun. Trying to figure out how to adult is a constant theme in my own life, and I enjoy a well drawn character trying to do the same." - Smart B*tches Trashy Books
"Greenwood gets the mix of sweet romance and sensuality just right in this tender Regency.... Greenwood adeptly weaves in engaging conversation and moments of personal growth to deliver a satisfying happy ending to this romance." - Publishers Weekly
Emily Greenwood worked for a number of years as a writer crafting newsletters and fundraising brochures, but she far prefers writing playful Regency love stories. She has come to believe that romance is the chocolate-and in some exquisite cases, the wine-of literature. Greenwood lives with her husband and two daughters in Kensington, Maryland.
