“You’re my wife, Lucy.”
His lost-and-found viscountess
After a year of desperate searching, Lord Oliver Sedgewick has found his wife...in the slums of St. Giles.
He can’t suppress his joy that Lucy is alive, despite his grief that their baby had not made it.
With his viscountess home, the spark of passion burning with more intensity than ever, Oliver may not fully understand why she left, but surely their marriage has a chance of a happy future...?
“Laura Martin has penned another winner. She immerses readers in the world and scandals of the ton with realistic settings, authentic dialogue and twists and turns that keep the action moving.”
—RT Book Reviews on An Earl to Save Her Reputation
“A sweet and passionate romance with a worthy couple well deserving of their happiness.”
—Roses Are Blue on An Earl to Save Her Reputation
LAURA MARTIN writes historical romances with an adventurous undercurrent. When not writing she spends her time working as a doctor in Cambridgeshire, where she lives with her husband. In her spare moments Laura loves to lose herself in a book, and has been known to read from cover to cover in a single day when the story is particularly gripping. She also loves to travel—especially visiting historical sites and far-flung shores.
