Lady Bethany would rather die a spinster than submit to marriage—and thus reveal the horrible secret she has harbored for more than a year
Lord Locke is far too immersed in his service to the Crown for romance, but Lady Bethany is in dire circumstances.
Indebted to Bethany’s late father and his close friend, the earl offers a perfect solution for both of them: a marriage in name only.
Perfect, if only they weren’t so irresistibly drawn to each other—and if Bethany hadn’t found herself falling in love with a man even more mysterious than his reputation. Perfect, until she unwittingly learns he’s protecting her from a threat to her life.
To Mark, Bethany is just another assignment, a woman he’s convinced is hiding something. His offer of marriage was meant only to make it easier to safeguard her.
But when the simple threat turns to attempted murder and treason, Mark realizes that Bethany has stolen his heart and he can do nothing less than throw himself into a race against time to save her, whatever the price.
Susan raised a
tribe of children, making ends meet as a registered nurse and lactation
consultant, and now her tribe members have tribes of their own and she just
doesn’t get to see enough of them. She loves to travel and is thrilled with a
good movie or a great book, but writing is her passion. She writes almost
anything, especially epic fantasy and romance. Saving Lord Whitton’s
Daughter is her first Regency Romance.

This Regency romance goes beyond the usual “does he
love me; does he not” theme often found. Lady Bethany, like many of her class
in the day, prefers to not wed rather be forced into an arranged marriage. Soon
there are choices, since failure to wed not only puts her beloved home at risk,
but she herself.
I liked the fact there was a secret our heroine
sought to keep from being discovered. Also, there was enough suspense to keep
the story interesting. For, the man behind the marriage of convenience was on a
mission that included more than a means for Bethany to keep her estate and her beloved horses. Lord
Locke knows she’s at risk from another direction. Each had their own reasons to agree to this marriage, but for each their view of the matter changes with time.
I enjoyed this suspenseful romance between Lady Bethany and Lord
Locke along with secondary characters that fleshed out the story, not only the servants, but the neighbors, and added
color and humanity to it. It was fun watching the plot develop. I recommend it
for those who love clean Regency romance.
