The Husband Campaign

April 15, 2014
Sick of the London social scene and badly betrayed two years earlier by people he once loved, horse breeder John, Lord Hascot, now lives a solitary life at Hollyoak Farm, with no plans to wed. He finds Lady Amelia Jacoby asleep in an old, derelict stable, and when a storm keeps them there until morning, marriage is their only option. Although their single common interest is their love of horses, they both want to make the marriage work--if they can keep outside interferences and selfish schemes from getting in the way. VERDICT A heroine determined to be a good wife, a hero who must learn to trust again, and a marvelous supporting cast (an outspoken, meddling maid and a malicious, widowed sister-in-law are especially well drawn) make this romantic tale a delightful diversion that should please inspirational fans and Regency purists alike. Scott ("The Wife Campaign") lives in Kennewick, WA.
