Julia Litchfield is a "daughter of the regiment." Statuesque, independent, courageous, closer to handsome than pretty. Not at all the petite, sweet type her father's aide-de-camp, Major Nicholas Tarleton, prefers. But on the night before a battle in Spain, Colonel Litchfield wagers his only daughter in a game of cards. What can an officer and a gentleman do but save her from ignominy? Marriage, however, is not what Nicholas has in mind. Yet after the battle, with the colonel dead and the major dying, Nicholas marries Julia to keep a roof over her head, precipitating a dramatic situation eighteen months later just as she has become a heroine to Nicholas's tenant farmers and is developing an interest in a new man in her life. The final resolution of this conflict of love and honor might have challenged Solomon himself. Author's Note: Tarleton's Wife is an award-winning Regency Historical that has been in almost continual distribution since 1999. Prior to this publication on Smashwords, it has had two print editions and four digital editions. In all that time, neither the title nor the story has changed.
