The text was simple that portentous Tuesday morning: "Please pray for us, we've been hit by a truck." It came from my daughter, Kristi, as I was entering the Wal-Mart there in Canon City, Colorado, where I was waiting for Rachel to arrive. We had planned to help Asher, Teresa, and her family prepare for their wedding in just four days. But, out of nowhere, a hulking Dodge Ram pickup came crashing through the driver's door, right into the delicate body of my wife. It was 10:40, the morning of November 6, 2012. Nothing could have prepared me for what lay ahead. Rachel and I had seldom talked about what it would be like to lose each other. We had filed an official will with the Griffith Law Office in International Falls, Minnesota, many years before. We had both outlined basic funeral plans as well, and she had updated hers just the year before in 2011. But to actually try to imagine what such a scenario would be like it just wasn't something we wanted to do."

Star-crossed childhood friends meet again in “an elegant, poignant, and joyful romance and a must-read for Regency fans” (Kirkus Reviews, starred review). Katherine Brooke may be a fabulously wealthy heiress, but she’s trapped, a pawn in her parents’ ruthless game to marry her into the nobility. Then Captain Hugo Penhallow—so charming, as handsome as a Greek god—comes into her life once more, and suddenly she sees a chance to be free. As a Penhallow, his is one of the highest names in the land, but still his family is facing ruin. So Katherine boldly proposes an exchange: his name for her money. But only if Hugo understands it’s merely a practical arrangement, and that she’s not surrendering herself entirely. Back from eight years in America and determined to give his younger siblings a better life, Hugo agrees. He’s never fallen in love, so why not? Yet neither of them guesses that this marriage will become far, far more than they ever dreamed of . . . “One of the most exciting new historical writers in a long time.” —Julia Quinn, New York Times–bestselling author of the Bridgerton novels “Berne takes all the classic elements of a Regency romance and turns them upside down. The most charming surprise is the hero . . . who stands out from the legion of Regency leading men before him by being kind.” —BookPage “Regency fans will love this forthright, intellectual heroine and affable, resourceful hero.” —Publishers Weekly (starred review)
