The Forbidden Love of an Officer: A sizzling Regency romance full of wit and yearning from Jane Lark
The stunning conclusion to The Marlow Family Secrets: an emotional, passionate Regency romance perfect for fans of Eloisa James, Mary Balogh and Bridgerton. A forbidden love, a soldier bound for war, a duke’s defiant daughter—and the elopement that could change everything. ✨

When Lady Eleanor Pembroke's powerful father, a duke, forbids her from marrying the dashing army officer she is desperately in love with, she takes a daring risk and leaves her family and the luxuries of her privileged life behind.

On Christmas Eve, Eleanor elopes with Captain Paul Harding, racing to reach the Scottish border where the law will let them marry without her father's consent.

Paul fears his young, innocent, indulged wife may not have the strength to face the realities of a soldier's life as they join the ranks of the British Army who are gathering in their thousands to stand against Napoleon’s French forces near the town of Waterloo.

But Eleanor has no choice. As battle looms and the army prepares, she must be strong to survive the terrors of war as she is left behind to watch and wait while Paul fights.

Will Ellen regret her choice – or will their love survive?

The seventh novel in the emotional Regency romance series The Marlow Family Secrets, for fans of Beverley Watts, Eloisa James and Bridgerton. Perfect for readers who love STEAMY, SPICY historical and regency romance, soldiers, Waterloo, opposites attract and second chances.
