CHERYL HOLT delivers the delightful, emotional, and stunning conclusion to her Jilted Brides trilogy...

Amelia Boyle has always viewed herself as an extremely modest and moral woman. But after suffering a string of personal catastrophes, she went a bit wild and made several reckless decisions. Her spurt of excess culminated in her becoming engaged to a man she barely knew. When he promptly jilted her at the altar, the cruel act yanked her to her senses. She's been forced to admit she has frivolous tendencies, and she vows to never let them flare again.

James Hastings loves his life in the army, and he doesn't plan to ever retire. He's a confirmed bachelor who spends his days around active, tough men who are proud to serve King and country. He's not interested in marriage or settling down, and he has no time for women and no patience for flirtation.

But when Amelia stumbles into his dull, boring world, she turns it upside down, and it gradually dawns on him that he might not be able to live without her. Amelia has sworn off romance though and has other plans that don't include binding herself to a handsome, dashing soldier. Can James convince her that he might be precisely who and what she needs to be happy?
