While you were sleeping...

With her brother Thomas injured on the battlefront in the Colonies, orphaned Cecilia Harcourt has two unbearable choices: move in with a maiden aunt or marry a scheming cousin. Instead, she chooses option three and travels across the Atlantic, determined to nurse her brother back to health. But after a week of searching, she finds not her brother but his best friend, the handsome officer Edward Rokesby. He's unconscious and in desperate need of her care, and Cecilia vows that she will save this soldier's life, even if staying by his side means telling one little lie...

I told everyone I was your wife

When Edward comes to, he's more than a little confused. The blow to his head knocked out six months of his memory, but surely he would recall getting married. He knows who Cecilia Harcourt is—even if he does not recall her face—and with everyone calling her his wife, he decides it must be true, even though he'd always assumed he'd marry his neighbor back in England.

If only it were true...

Cecilia risks her entire future by giving herself—completely—to the man she loves. But when the truth comes out, Edward may have a few surprises of his own for the new Mrs. Rokesby.

About the Author:

Julia Quinn is the dazzling queen of historical romance, best known for her charming, cheeky, and utterly addictive Bridgerton series—the very books that inspired the Netflix phenomenon where dukes smolder, debutantes sparkle, and scandal is always just one ballroom away.

With her signature blend of wit, warmth, and swoon-worthy love stories, Julia brings the Regency era to life in the most delightful way. Her books are filled with sharp-tongued heroines, dashing gentlemen, and just the right amount of mischief and mayhem. Whether you’re giggling at Lady Whistledown’s gossip or falling head over heels for a Bridgerton sibling (or two), Julia’s novels are the perfect escape into a world of romance, repartee, and ruffled cravats.

A graduate of Harvard and a former med student turned romance royalty, Julia Quinn proves that happily ever afters are not only smart—they’re absolutely irresistible.

If you like your love stories with a side of sass and a full heart, Julia Quinn is your ultimate literary matchmaker.
