The Girl with the Make-Believe Husband by Julia Quinn
4.0
Cecilia Harcourt is devoted to her brother. While Thomas Harcourt is away fighting for England in America, she diligently writes to him. Thomas' best friend and fellow soldier Captain Edward Rokesby also eagerly awaits Cecilia's letters. Over the years Edward and Cecilia have come to know each other through little notes added to Thomas' correspondence.
Cecilia's father dies and then she receives news that Thomas is injured and missing, she sets off for New York to find him. Instead of finding her brother, she discovers Edward unconscious and fevered in hospital after a head injury. Wanting to offer aid, she says she's his wife, as only family members are allowed inside.
Thomas regains consciousness but has no memory of the past few months. He recognises Cecilia from a miniature portrait Thomas had shown him, and when she says they married by proxy at Thomas' request, he can't discount the possibility, though it seems unusual.
Cecilia feels guilty, especially when she knows Edward's innate sense of honour will force him to marry her in truth when his memory returns.
The two MC's have been falling for each other through their letters for ages, though they are both treading carefully as "newlyweds" for several reasons.
This book contains descriptive love scenes.
