Suffering from amnesia, she was separated from anyone who might know her, and imprisoned in Bedlam. She was freed only because barrister Daniel Thackery, Lord Ashbrook, was convinced to betray the one thing he holds dear: the law. Desperate to unearth her true identity, Jemina's only chance is to purloin dangerous secrets with help from The Widow's Grace--which means staying steps ahead of the formidable Daniel, no matter how strongly she is drawn to him . . . <p/> Married only by proxy, now widowed by shipwreck, Daniel is determined to protect his little stepdaughter, Hope, from his family's scandalous reputation. That's why he has dedicated himself not just to the law, but to remaining as proper, upstanding--and boring--as can be. But the closer he becomes to the mysterious, alluring Jemina, the more Daniel is tempted to break the very rule of law to which he's deevoted his life. And as ruthless adversaries close in, will the truth require him, and Jemina, to sacrifice their one chance at happiness?<br> <b></b><br> <b>RAVES FOR <i>A DUKE, A LADY, AND A BABY</i></b><br> <i></i><br> <b>"One of the best historicals I've read in years." --Kristan Higgins, <i>New York Times</i> bestselling author </b><br> <b></b><br> <b>"Smart and witty . . . the perfect historical read."</b> <b>--Julia Quinn, #1 <i>New York Times</i> bestselling author </b> <p/> <b>"Expertly crafted romance." --<i>Publishers Weekly</i>, STARRED review</b><br> <b></b><br> <b>"Riley gifts readers a sparkling love story" --<i>Entertainment Weekly</i></b><br><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><b>Praise for <i>An Earl, the Girl, and a Toddler</i></b> <p/>"Bridgerton fans, if you read just one book on this list, make sure it's Vanessa Riley's terrific <i>An Earl, the Girl, and a Toddler</i>."<br>--<b>Popsugar</b> <p/>"[<i>An Earl, The Girl and a Toddler</i>] brings the same elaborate storytelling and portrayal of a more diverse Regency world than is traditionally found.
