It’s her wedding day and there is no groom in sight. But why should Amelia Brice be surprised? Hiram, Lord Friar is known for having no gentleman’s honor to speak of and his jilting her on their wedding day makes it official.

Elijah Banks cannot allow his childhood friend to continue to be shamed this way. It’s more than an hour past the time the wedding was to start, and that bounder still hasn’t shown up. Unable to sit still a second longer, Elijah does the only thing that seems logical from where he stands: kidnap the bride and take her to Gretna Green in order to escape this scandal with one far more forgiving for a young lady’s reputation.

So then why does his new bride seem angry with him and rebuff his advances?

Elijah is the gentleman she’d always hoped to marry, but though he was merely the third son of a baron and she the daughter of an earl, she’d never felt worthy of someone like him. Especially now. Try as she might, she cannot find the words to tell him of her situation and ruin the good fortune that has befallen her, but neither can she keep the truth from him.

But when Lord Friar threatens to reveal her secret, it’s up to Elijah to save her from public humiliation once more by revealing a few of his own…

Lady Amelia Brice: jilted. Is this just par for the course? In this magical nineteenth century romance, lovely Amelia seems to have less than the best of luck with the opposite sex, starting off with the neighbor’s son… and on to the intended and rather more charming scoundrel. However, Gordon allows nothing so predictable to happen as we might be thinking. The perfectly charming (okay, so Elijah isn’t ‘perfectly charming,’ but we readers do like him) will smack right up against the scoundrel in this one – with a lot of surprising interactions.

Poor Amelia is dropped straight into a deceitful quandary…in an almost-unbelievable situation, which we have no trouble at all in believing. The wonderful quality to this writing is that it simply takes you there; conversations are so real you’ll think you overheard them, descriptions sufficient to let you see it all in mind’s eye, the intrigue enough to make you curious – but none if it distracts from the romance! Amelia is caught off-guard, and with no recollection of certain specific events, is left in a highly tricky situation. Honesty, does not in this case seem the best policy, to her or to us!

Elijah seems to have a gift for treating her poorly, even when he intends otherwise. His behavior -and regrets – are also easy to sympathize with, however. He’s not the wit that Henry is, but we see his feelings are genuine. Still, things go wrong … and for those that have known one another since childhood, some old feelings and resentments, some attitudes of mind, simply cannot be forgot. Perhaps, they can be forgiven? Or, will time reveal them as something other than we imagined? The interactions of all the cast here is absolutely engrossing. Lovely and thoroughly enjoyable historical romance: His Jilted Bride is all it promises.
