MARRYING THE MAJOR

Book 2 of Unsuitable Matches series

Major Hugo Stratton, a veteran scarred in body and soul. No fit husband for any gentlewoman?

Heiress Emma Fitzwilliam has a fond memory of Hugo Stratton as a handsome young officer with a wicked sense of humour. But the Major Stratton who returns from the wars, years later, is a disfigured and prickly recluse who rebuffs all Emma's attempts to get near him.

When an unwise romantic encounter in the garden threatens Emma with ruin, marriage is the only way to save her reputation. She longs to have Hugo as her bridegroom, but how can she persuade him to unbend enough to propose? Especially to a woman in disgrace?

And, even if he does propose, could a marriage between Hugo and Emma ever be made to work?
