While You Were Sleeping…

With her brother Thomas missing in the colonies, the orphaned Cecilia Harcourt faces two unbearable choices: move into her mother's aunt's house or marry her cunning cousin.

She decides to follow a third option and embarks on a transatlantic rescue journey.
After a week of searching, instead of her brother, she finds his best friend, Edward Rokesby.
He is badly injured, and Cecilia vows to save his life, but to do so, she will need to tell a little lie…

I told everyone I was your wife…

When Edward finally regains consciousness, he discovers that the blow to his head has caused temporary amnesia.
The last six months have been erased from his memory, but if he had indeed married, wouldn't he remember?

He knows very well who Cecilia Harcourt is, even though he can't recall her face.
Since everyone calls her his "wife," he decides that logically this must be the truth.

If only it were true….

Cecilia risks her entire future by giving herself completely to the man she loves.
But when the truth is revealed, Edward may have some surprises in store for the new Mrs. Rokesby...
