Kat Martin Reese’s Bride
by Kat Martin

Wounded in battle, Marjor Reese Dewar returns to England — but his damaged leg is nothing compared to his shattered heart…

Years before, love-struck Reese departed his home at Briarwood with a promise from raven-haired Elizabeth Clemmens: that she would make a life with him upon his return. But mere months later, she married the Earl of Alderidge, attaining wealth and status Reese could never match. Memories of that betrayal make his homecoming far more bitter than sweet.

Elizabeth knows when she appears on Reese’s doorstep dressed in widow’s garb that she is twisting the knife. But fear for her young son’s safety has overcome guilt and shame: she begs Reese for protection against the forces that would see the boy Earl dead to posses his fortune. The former overs forge an uneasy alliance, but Elizabeth still harbors some deep secrets — and Reese know that protecting her mean placing himself in danger… of losing his heart all over again.

Eloquently depicts the ramifications bad decisions can have on everyone involved.
