Remember Me

Bestseller Balogh’s memorable second Ravenswood Regency romance (after Remember Love) finds 22-year-old Philippa Ware, eldest daughter of the deceased Earl of Stratton, finally making her London debut. Her entrance into society was delayed by scandal: six years before the start of the book, her brother publicly revealed their father’s infidelity. She was not about to let his misdeeds deter her, until she overheard Lucas Arden, Marquess of Roath, describing her as “soiled goods.” Now she worries that lingering rumors will derail her chance of finding a husband, only to learn that no one in London even remembers her family’s notoriety—save, perhaps, for Lucas himself. Lucas’s grandfather, the Duke of Wilby, wants Lucas to wed soon and get an heir. Impressed by her poise and successful debut, the duke is convinced that Philippa would make the perfect bride and sets about playing imperious matchmaker. Balogh effortlessly captures the Regency era and the high stakes of the marriage market while instilling the narrative with the timeless reality of the impact of thoughtless words. Readers will be enchanted. Agent: Maria Carvainis, Maria Carvainis Agency. (June)
