Lucinda Kendricks did not know who she was. After the stagecoach accident she had become a victim of amnesia. Suddenly she was the new countess of Glenbrooke. And Dareth Farringdon's bride. But her "husband's" behavior was very distrubing. He acted more like a stranger than a husband. — Although she was warmly welcomed into the Farringon family, Lucinda knew something was wrong. Perhaps because she could not recall the first time she fell in love with the charming young earl...
To be taken with giant grains of salt: foolish mother of duke makes up story that woman found unconscious in the road is her son's wife so he can get money from elderly relative who wants to see him married, so even though son is against it, woman foolishly says it to pretty much everyone she meets, from the servants to the family, and so...if the woman weren't a fool and a duchess, there would be no plot.
the premises held promise, but the back cover description was a lot better than the book itself. Lucinda was almost an afterthought. The focus was much more on Dareth Farringdon's mother (good-hearted, but useless and silly, though still beautiful) and her antics. cute twist at the end concerning the inheritance.
