Delamere's debut is an engaging historical regency romance that will have readers clamoring for a new book by her.

Lizzie makes a huge mistake and in doing so, she and her brother move to Australia. She makes herself a life there, and a best friend, Ria. They look similiar to one another but when Ria dies, Lizzie knows she is going home after five years. At Ria's insistence before she died, Lizzie is taking on Ria's identity and going to make amends with Ria's family. What Lizzie didn't count on was the sparks that fly between her and Ria's brother-in-law, Geoffrey Somerville.

Ria's husband had died and now Geoffrey was the new Lord, and as a vicar, he had no desires for the title or the responsibilities. However, he wants to help Lizzie (Ria) and the two eventually begin to fall in love with one another. However, there are two problems. One, you can't marry your former sister-in-law, and two, Lizzie needs to come forth with who she really is.

A charming romance with likable characters and set with enough historical detail to keep this reader entranced and up late turning the pages. Not only does Lizzie needs forgiveness for herself, but she's trying to get it from Ria's family for her past sins and find a path for the future with Geoffrey. Fans of regency romance will devour this one!
