Can real love grow between a wallflower and an unrepentant rogue?
Sarah Drayton is eager to spend time with her best friend at her
crumbling Northumberland castle estate. Matrimony is the last thing on
her mind and the last thing she expects to be faced with on a holiday.
Yet she finds herself being inveigled into a marriage of convenience
with her friend's rakish brother.
When James Langley returns to his family's estate, he can't be bothered
to pay attention to his responsibilities as the heir. War is raging and
he wants only distraction, not serious tethers. But his roguish ways
have backed him into a corner, and he has little choice but to obey his
father's stunning decree: marry before returning to war, or else.
Suddenly he finds himself wedded to a clever and capable woman he does
not love.
Sarah craves love and a place to belong, neither of which James offered
before returning to the battlefront. Now everyone around her thinks she
married above her station, and they have no intention of rewarding her
for such impertinence. It isn't until her husband returns from war
seemingly changed that she begins to hope they may find real happiness.
But can she trust that this rake has truly reformed?
When tragedy strikes, this pair must learn to trust God and his plans.
Will they be destroyed . . . or will they discover that even in the
darkest depths of night, the morning still holds hope?

While most
stories set in Regency England focus on the rich, the young, and the
beautiful, award-winning author Carolyn Miller decided she wanted to
give readers something different for a change. Her new Regency
Wallflowers series follows the commoners, away from the hustle and
bustle of 1810s London, out in the Lake District of England. She tells
the stories of women who are slightly older and have few prospects for
marriage, women who might be considered “wallflowers.”
Midnight’s Budding Morrow is the second book in the Regency Wallflowers series. The first book in the series is Dusk’s Darkest Shores.
