Never Marry a Stranger

Presumed dead in battle, Captain Matthew Leland’s sudden appearance gives the ton quite the shock. But no one is more surprised than Matthew, because waiting for him is a bewitching woman who claims to be his wife!

Miss Emily Grey was alone in the world when a knight in shining armor came to her rescue, claimed her heart, and then disappeared. But now her little white lie, a desperate act of self-preservation, has come back to haunt her. Her husband, once a far-off fantasy, is now a flesh-and-blood man.

Matthew is determined to expose her, but a life with the exquisite Emily will prove irresistible...and a marriage of deception will become a marriage of sweet surrender.
