This is fifth in the Bedwyn family series. Mary Balogh has created an endearing family saga with the boisterous, larger-than-life Bedwyns. There is one way Rachel can repay her friends, but she needs Alleyne’s help to return to England and get control of her personal fortune.
He has a vague feeling that a woman, probably his wife, awaits him. Thinking that Rachel is a prostitute, he takes her innocence, and then feels guilty because he cannot offer her marriage.
Alleyne recovers physically, but has amnesia. She takes him to the brothel where the “ladies” nurse him. Instead of money, she finds a naked, wounded, almost dead Alleyne. In the ensuing chaos, Rachel York goes to the Battlefield hoping to find enough money to repay her prostitute friends’ savings, stolen by Rachel’s fiancé. His instructions to his sister, Morgan, were to wait for his return. In Slightly Sinful, Alleyne Bedwyn disappears after the Battle of Waterloo.
