Cecilia Harcourt has come to New York in search of her missing and injured brother. Instead, she finds his friend, Edward Rokesby, unconscious in the hospital. In order to tend to him, she pretends to be his wife only for him to wake up with part of his memory missing. He accepts her story, partly because he's been corresponding with her through her brother. Until he finally gets his memory back! 
 I wasn't sure about this book initially, but my doubts were soon dispelled. The Colonial setting was perfect, and I liked the historical details very much. 
 Cecilia is delightful. She is daring without being too bold, a perfect heroine. Edward could be cranky, but his secret romanticism overcame any flaws. I loved how he stole her letters and miniature. 
 Using the letters to show how their romance started and grew was a great touch. It allows the reader to understand why Edward accepted the marriage even while he couldn't remember anything about it. He was already half in love with Cecilia by the time he met her. I wanted them to find Thomas, but you can't have everything. 
 This is another wonderful book by Ms. Quinn. Now I have to wait for the next one.
