This is simply an historical romance which I know you will enjoy. I know I did. I found myself laughing at parts--these two were meany for each other but neither wanted a true marriage--they thought! They married--spent 3 days together before he went off to war. She realized that she actually did love him--but HE had made a pledge never to love a wife if he ever got married! When he returns from war and is feted as a hero--she is the only one who will make him whole again! He has seen too much and there is that danged pledge!
About the Book:(from Amazon)
Can a lady tempt a Free Fellow to surrender his heart?
As a founding member of the Free Fellows League—a group of four gentlemen who signed a pledge to never wed when they were lads—Griffin, Viscount Abernathy, swears that he will put off marrying as long as possible. But when he is suddenly called off to war, he has no choice but to obey his father’s wishes and find a wife…
Just days later, he marries the lovely Lady Alyssa. For a man committed only to his freedom, she seems a perfect—and perfectly undemanding—bride. Intelligent and self-sufficient, Alyssa craves her independence just as much as Griffin loves his. But as the irresistible attraction between them flourishes with every look and touch, they discover there is something they desire even more than a loveless marriage of convenience—the passion they find in each other’s arms…
Book 1 of the “Free Fellows League” Series, which includes BARELY A BRIDE, MERELY THE GROOM, HARDLY A HUSBAND, TRULY A WIFE, A BACHELOR STILL and CLEARLY A COUPLE (a novella from TALK OF THE TON)

This sounds like an interesting story.
I like historical books. They really interest me. Barely a Bride sounds great as unrequited love stinks and I'm hoping she wins him over.
