A Trace of Memory (Elizabeth Bailey Georgian Romances)

How can Elaine trust her heart if she can’t remember who she is?

1798, England

A young woman awakens alone in an unknown forest. She is injured, her gown dirtied and torn. But the worst thing is, she has no idea of how she got there — or even her own identity.

And when Charles Clevedon, Earl of Wytham, stumbles upon her in his grounds, he’s immediately suspicious…

Uncommonly eligible yet notoriously elusive, the handsome earl has been pursued by women for years. Could this damsel in distress be yet another contender for his hand in marriage — and his considerable fortune?

But Elaine (as she may or may not be called) seems to be all alone in the world, so Charles is compelled to offer her shelter. And as the days pass, and snatches of her past begin to return, the puzzle only grows more complex — and a strange connection begins to grow between the pair.

Is Elaine a woman in need, or a calculating trickster? As Charles’s defences begin to crumble, should he trust his head — or his heart?

And when the truth about Elaine’s past finally comes to light, will it spell heartbreak for them both?
