The Light in the Darkness

**In Ellen Fisher’s charming novel of romance and redemption in colonial

Virginia, a tormented widower rediscovers his passion for life with a most

unlikely bride.**

Edward Greyson is one of the most eligible bachelors in the New World—and he

couldn’t care less. Haunted by the death of his wife, scornful of female

wiles, and completely contemptuous of any attempt to bring happiness into his

life, the brooding rogue known as Grey hardly considers himself a catch. And

yet, if only to put an end to his sister’s incessant nagging, Grey chooses a

new bride after all, albeit one who confounds the expectations of polite

society: an ignorant, unkempt, timid young tavern wench.

No one knows better than Jennifer Wilton that she isn’t a suitable match for

an aristocrat like Grey. And though she can’t begin to explain Grey’s stormy

temperament, one thing is sure: Whatever his intentions, the astonishingly

handsome stranger saved her from a life of drudgery and cruelty. To repay his

kindness, Jenny vows to transform herself into a ravishing, accomplished

beauty, the kind of wife who would make him proud—and the kind of woman with

whom he might just fall in love.
