Can Captain Wyvern keep his new marriage of convenience all business--or will it turn into something more?
Captain Charles Wyvern owes a great debt to the man who saved his life--especially since Major Richardson lost his own life in the process. The best way to honor that hero's dying wish is for Wyvern to escort the man's grieving fiance and mother safely to a new cottage home by the sea. But along the way, he learns of another obligation that has fallen on his shoulders: his uncle has died and the captain is now the Earl of Rothwell.
When he and the ladies arrive at his new manor house in Devon, they discover an estate in need of a leader and a gaggle of girls, all wards of the former earl. War the new earl knows; young ladies and properties he does not. Still wishing to provide for the bereaved Lady Sophia Haverly, Charles proposes a marriage of convenience.
Sophie is surprised to find she isn't opposed to the idea. It will help her care for her betrothed's elderly mother, and she's already fallen in love with the wayward girls on the Rothwell estate. This alliance is a chance to repay the captain who has done so much for her care, as well as divert her attention from her grief. When Wyvern returns to his sea commission, she'll stay behind to oversee his property and wards.
It sounds so simple. Until the stalwart captain is arrested on suspicion of smuggling, and Sophie realizes how much he's come to mean to her. Now she'll have to learn to fight, not only for his freedom but also for his love.

My Perspective

I have really enjoyed this series by Erica Vetsch. Like the first two books in the series, Vetsch has brought engaging characters, lots of emotions, and an interesting plot line. I am a sucker for marriage of convenience stories. There’s just something about seeing two characters come together because they “have to”, but find themselves right where they need to be.

Here’s the thing. Even though they had just met, it really was like Charles had known Sophia forever thanks to the letters she wrote to her beau. I thought that was actually a nice way to start the book – seeing Sophia pinning over her love (not Charles!), grieving his loss, and yet connecting with Charles in a new and unexpected way. I also appreciated how dedicated she was to her would-have-been mother in law. That shows a different kind of love and loyalty than just romance, and sometimes I think that books need more of that!

All in all this was another good read from Vetsch. Historical fiction fans will enjoy Charles and Sohpia’s journey. And the kids make it fun as well! I received a complimentary copy of this book. I was not required to write a favorable review. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
