关于此电子书

A case of amnesia and a desperate lie are the start to an irresistible tale of love in this Regency romance from the author of Scandal’s Child.
 
When Mary Masterton gazes into the eyes of a handsome stranger and informs him that they’re engaged, he has no reason to doubt her. After all, his head injury has resulted in a complete loss of memory. Mary, however, clearly remembers the stable fire and the brave man who saved her prized horses—this man before her now, who has unwittingly become her fiancé to thwart the advances of a loathsome suitor.
 
Richard’s signet ring is the only clue to the stranger’s true identity as the Duke of Avalon. Determined to reclaim his past, he begs Mary to accompany him on a journey to track down the ring’s meaning. Having rescued herself from a loveless marriage and the plans of her scheming relatives, Mary once more faces a seemingly hopeless situation. But as she falls deeply in love with Richard, she vows to tell him the truth. If only the truth were as simple as deceit.
 
“A talented author with a real gift for linking the modern reader to the glamorous past.” —RT Book Reviews

作者简介

Her journey started quietly in a small, central Indiana farming town in the mid-century. Sherrill’s mother was developmentally disabled from birth, a condition which left her unable to read, write, or reason. From the young age of 5, Sherrill began to care for her mother and make decisions on her behalf. The movies were where the two escaped their complicated reality. In the darkness of her hometown theater, life’s possibilities were revealed to Sherrill. She saw examples of gumption, courage, and wit modeled for her by the silver screen’s leading ladies. She was exposed to exotic far-away places and witnessed dynamic interpersonal relationships that challenged her. The combination of the movies, and the extraordinary relationship that she shared with her mother, set the stage for Sherrill’s life. She knew that she would design a life without limits. And she did. Armed with her love for adventure, her sense of courage, and the compass of her conscience, Sherrill has stayed true to this approach to limitless living; reinventing herself decade after decade. First as a wife and mother, and then as a successful author of romance novels, a fashionista, a philanthropist, an international travel writer, a neighborhood pub owner, and a socialite whose goings-on are often splashed about the city’s social pages. Sherrill shares her time and talents with Service Club of Chicago ( The oldest Philanthropic Organization in the city), The Guild of the Chicago History Museum and The Costume Council of the Chicago History Museum Sherrill has designed this high-energy life for herself with her personal philosophy of Big. Bigger. Biggest.
