When the Lady Must Wed — Jessie Clever

Lady Winnaretta Lowe has a terrible secret, one that could ruin her sister's chance at happiness and love, but it's not the secret every thinks it might be. When Winnie was young and unattached, she found herself with child when her lover was killed in battle on the Continent. But that wasn't the worst of it.

It was that she fell in love with the man who offered to save her.

Fatally faithful, Philip Hodge, the Earl of Greylock, promised his best friend he would save Lady Winnaretta, but only the worse kind of tragedy made marriage unnecessary, and Winnie released him from his promise to wed her. Philip, ever the gentleman, has been forced to live with that loss for five long years in order to respect Winnie's wishes.

Now Winnie once again must marry, but this time it's for far more precarious reasons. She must marry a marquess to secure her place among the upper echelons of society and win her sister the engagement she desires. It's a simple plan and one she's sure to fulfill.

Except her only mistake is in not realizing that five years ago, she wasn't the only one who fell in love.
