Romance | Women's Fiction

A secret-baby, second-chance Regency romance 

Long-lost love… 

Newfound heir!  

Richard, the Earl of Farnleigh, believed he had lost his sweetheart, Hetty, forever. Amid the carnage of the Peninsular War, she was torn from his arms, thought dead. But now she’s back on his doorstep—with their two-year-old child!   

Thinking Richard had abandoned her, pregnant Hetty became trapped in a joyless marriage to a cruel man. Now a widow, she’s finally free—but alone, vulnerable and penniless. Richard is her only hope for refuge. They’re bound by their son, and an undeniable connection, but when they both bear the scars of the past, is a rekindled romance more than she can promise?

From Harlequin Historical: Your romantic escape to the past.
