The Rejected Suitor — Teresa McCarthy

A Heart's Memory


Lady Emily Clearbrook's brothers claim they are looking after her best interests when they take on the duty of finding her a husband. But Emily will not trust matters of her heart to another--especially after the love of her life professed his undying devotion, then ran off with another woman.

When Jared, Earl of Stonebridge, returns from the war a widower, he vows to set things straight with Emily, the girl he left three years earlier. Though he expects resistance from her weapon-wielding brothers, he has no defense against Emily's anger. Yet Jared still yearns to spark even the least hint of desire in his old flame, and with his disarming kisses, he might just succeed...

Hero: Jared Ashton, Lord Stonebridge
Heroine: Lady Emily Clearbrook
