I bought two books today. One is from Steeple Hill's Love Inspired Historical line. It's called The Widow's Secret by Sara Mitchell.


Backcover Blurb- Love Inspired Historical

When Jocelyn Tremayne saved her husband's reputation, she lost everything--including her faith in God. The idealistic bride once had a future all New York society envied. Now the young widow is suspected of an unthinkable crime. And to clear her name, she must uncover a conspiracy...and endanger her disillusioned heart.

Although Secret Service agent Micah MacKenzie needs Jocelyn's aid to infiltrate the city's most privileged circles, he's determined to keep her at arm's length. But the more she risks to help him find the truth, the more he sees the wrongly judged woman she truly is. Now he will do whatever it takes to win her trust, rekindle her belief--and prove his love.

The other is Harlequin Historical's His Cavalry Lady by Joanna Maitland.


Excerpt comes from Mills & Boon.

Secrets, disguise and passion!
Alex instantly fell for Dominic Aikenhead, Duke of Calder, knowing that he would never notice her – because, to him, she was Captain Alexei Alexandrov, a young man and a brave hussar!

Alex longed to be with her English Duke just once, as the passionate woman she truly was.

To be swept off her feet, wearing the finest of gowns, would be a dream come true. But there was danger in such thoughts. What if Dominic ever found out the truth?
