A Heart Revealed
As in typical Regency Romances, the heroine has come to London for the Season in search of a husband. Amber Sterlington has timed her debut to catch a man wealthy and titled enough to deserve her. Beautiful, spoiled, selfish, and manipulative, she has caught the eye of every man in London. One who is particularly captivated is Thomas Richards, the third son of a lowly Yorkshire lord. He has a long list of requirements for the wife he wants, but not much to offer. However, what he really wants is someone as gorgeous as Amber. Even after realizing she’s an awful person, he’s unable to settle for a plainer female. Just when the reader is ready to give up on these shallow characters, disaster strikes Amber, stripping her of her place in society. Exiled to Yorkshire, her path crosses that of Mr. Richards again. The story becomes more serious than a typical Regency Romance, and the slow build of the relationship between hero and heroine is more complex and quite moving. This is clean romance with an unusual plot element that makes it well worth sticking with the protagonists until they blossom into a couple to root for.
