Rescued as a child from the French Revolution, a lovely young widow is now determined to marry her intended match in this Regency romance.

A Frenchwoman living in the English countryside, Delphine, Lady Charteris, has lived an isolated life. Only when her husband dies does she learn the truth of her parents’ death during the Terror—and of their plans for her to marry the Comte Saint Pierre.

A capable woman who runs her own estate, Delphine has no need of a man. Yet she is determined to honor her late parents’ wishes, even if her union with the Comte will be a marriage in name only.

Delphine is fully prepared to marry a man she has never met. But when she sees Jules Saint Pierre, she gets the shock of her life. He is the same man she’d seen juggling in the streets at a local fair. What is he doing as the Comte Saint Pierre? Has she made a terrible mistake? Or has she finally found true love?
