Captain Charles Bevin left Mary three years ago to rejoin his regiment in the Peninsular War. Since he’s been gone, Mary has struggled to raise her young son while working to save her family’s pub from her stepfather’s creditors. To retain control of her livelihood, Mary was forced to pretend she and Charles had wed before he’d left, and that he’d died in battle. Under English law, a widow has more rights than a wife.

Charles returns to England after a harrowing experience in Spain hoping to renew his relationship with Mary. He is stunned to walk into her pub and discover that everyone believes they are already married. With Mary in danger of losing everything, can Charles overcome her fear of betrayal to convince her to make their marriage real, and capture her heart once again?

This is the first historical romance I’ve read by this author. I enjoyed it for the quick & easy read that it was. The characters and story were endearing.

3.0 out of 5 stars Just Okay - 2.5 Stars
Reviewed in the United States on July 22, 2016
Three years ago, Captain Charles Bevin spent one night in the arms of his sweetheart, Mary, before returning to Spain with his regiment. During that time Mary has been posing as Charles' widow while struggling to support her family and saving their pub from creditors. Upon his return, Charles discovers his "wife's" necessary deception and is determined to resolve her debt, overcome her fears, gain her trust, and make her his wife in truth.

This was a short story which took me maybe 30-45 minutes to read. It takes place within one day but since Charles and Mary had a history, it did make the romance more plausible if not especially memorable. I liked Charles, but didn't care much for Mary and thought they needed more fleshing out. The storyline wasn't very exciting and never really drew me in either. Overall I wasn't too impressed, but neither did I hate it. Just okay I guess.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great short story
Reviewed in the United States on September 21, 2017
I enjoyed this short story with great characters, romance and intrigue. They both had trust issues but were able to overcome them and get their HEA. I believe this is the first book I've read from this author, but I plan to check out the other ones. I voluntarily reviewed an advance reader copy and recommend it to lovers of this genre.
