In spite of the arranged marriage between this duke's son and wealthy heiress, Lord Sebastian Gresham and Lady Georgina Stane find themselves in the unusual position of being in love. But can their love withstand each other's secrets?

Lord Sebastian Gresham is a battle-tested soldier and brilliant strategist. Yet all his life he's had to hide his painful secret. What a miracle it is that he's found the perfect bride. Lady Georgina Stane is beautiful, witty, and brilliantly intelligent. Sebastian is head over heels in love, proud as a peacock, and terrified. If she finds out, he'll lose her love forever.

Lady Georgina has found the perfect match in Lord Sebastian, a handsome former soldier with a brilliant mind for strategy. Prior to the wedding, Sabastian travels to meet Georgina's parents, who turn out to be rather...eccentric.

Ratings and reviews

Ordinary breeds extraordinary. What that means to me is that a person is so much more than the skills they lack. They are special because of who they are. In the long run a pure heart and an open mind are all that matters. Sebastian was a smart man but he failed to see that because of a misinterpreted flaw. He was a man of action. He could create a plan and carry it out but with intelligence and skill but when it came to understanding the reading, writing and curriculum, he felt like fish out of water. Lord Sebastian's Secret deals with a prevalent subject in a time when not much was known about it. Still to this day dyslexia is still look at as a weakness, in our ever changing world. Ms. Ashford examines the subject with gentleness and a great deal of insight. Through the eyes of Sebastian, the author allows the change to understand the frustration and shame of an individual dealing with the not knowing and the fear of being different. Lord Sebastian's Secret is an eye opener. The message is clear: "Every journey is unique, but we all have struggles to overcome." Sebastian was stronger than his fear and with the love of a good woman like Georgiana, he learned that he was more than his disability.
