Books like Secrets of a Wedding Night by Valerie Bowman
Young, widowed, and penniless, Lily Andrews, the Countess of Merrill, is determined not to let another fine lady fall victim to the cruel man who broke her heart five years earlier. When she spots a new engagement in The Times, Lily anonymously writes and distributes a pamphlet titled “Secrets of a Wedding Night,” knowing it will reach the intended bride’s hands. Meanwhile the Marquis of Colton, Devon Morgan, who yearns for a devoted wife and a mother for his son, has one of his own former lovers, Lily, dismissed as a heartless beauty after her betrayal. When the manuscript spurs Devon’s new fiancée to abandon their match, he vows to find the pamphlet’s author and exact revenge. Learning that Lily wrote it, he issues a challenge: either rewrite her words or risk an unexpected courtship that promises to reveal the true wonder of a wedding night.
