Miss Pelham's Beau
A romance with a dash of mystery:
She fears the truth of her past becoming known.
He’s a war hero who desires a future with her.
A mischievous dog with a penchant for rescuing people.
Charlotte Pelham’s life drastically and irrevocably changes the day her father is shot and she is raped by highwaymen. Now, after creating a new life for herself with her aunt, the Dowager Duchess of Torrington, and her faithful dog, Beau, she must come to grips with her past when the Earl of Alanbrooke proposes. But once she confesses to being raped, his offer of marriage becomes one of friendship. It seems her only true friend is Beau, her faithful mastiff.
Returning from war after a five-year absence, Rowan encounters a mastiff who leads him to an unconscious young woman. He finds her insistence that she doesn’t fall off her horse intriguing and learns there’s some credence to her claim. He’s further drawn to her by her kindness to neighbors and proposes. When she confesses to being raped, he hopes to overcome her uneasiness with him by offering friendship and gently woo her. Instead, she withdraws from him. But convincing her that his love is strong enough to overlook her past is not the only thing standing in his way. Now someone is trying to kill him.
Can he convince her to forget her past and trust in his love?

I enjoyed Lotty trying to overcome her belief that she is ineligible for marriage because she was raped. I especially like her dog Beau. I thought all the characters were interesting and likeable. The good dialogue made it an enjoyable read.

About The Author
Margaret Bennett
As an avid reader, I became a fan of Georgette Heyer’s Regency novels, then started writing Regency romance novels as a hobby. I particularly enjoy writing about strong, resourceful women in an age where it was thought that women were incapable of taking care of themselves and couldn’t own property.
Kindle e-books have allowed me to grow as a writer. With each novel, I have made mistakes, but I have learned so much along the way. I like to read reviews from my readers and am thankful that they take the time to critique my work.
I am currently retired in beautiful Port Royal, SC, with my husband and our dog Sally, happily working away on my next novel.
