Close to His Heart — Leonora Pruner

The longing of Grace Carstares and Lord Henry Buryhill for loving, faith-minded spouses results in a romantic courtship. Serious misunderstandings shatter their marriage until Grace's loss of memory offers an opportunity for renewal if husband and wife can forgive each other.

Pruner's third novel is a superbly researched historical romance set in eighteenth century England, and a profound study of true love. Jane Austen fans who have wondered what Kitty Bennett's life might have been like if she had had a grain of good sense and had fallen into the hands of an honourable man will love this story.
