It Started at Waterloo - Lynne Connolly - Bog

Does she love him enough to let him go? After three straight days working beside surgeon Will Kennaway to treat the wounded of Waterloo, Amelia Hartwell collapses on the nearest bed to sleep. Surely she can be forgiven for not caring that the warm body sleeping next to hers is Will's. Amelia's status-hungry mother, however, couldn't be more pleased to have an excuse to get the painfully shy, socially awkward Amelia married off, albeit to a less-than-ultra-rich husband. Will doesn't keep his title a deep, dark secret. His little-known earldom simply affords him the financial freedom to focus solely on healing the sick. But now that he has a wife to think about-and to admire, thanks to her unstinting bravery at Waterloo-he reluctantly takes up the mantle of earl to do his duty. Missing her meaningful work as a nurse, Amelia finds herself floundering in society's glaring spotlight, wondering if Will regrets being forced to marry. Perhaps it might even be better to give him his freedom, even if doing so will break her heart...
