The Baron's Appointed Hour
(2026)(The sixth book in the Brides of the Regency series)
A novel by Isabel Jacobs
After she proves his innocence, a marriage of convenience becomes the only way to salvage her good name. But can this unexpected union grow into genuine love—and will their faith be enough to sustain them through scandal and danger?
A clean Christian Regency mystery about a courageous young lady who risks everything to save a lord from disgrace, a reluctant groom ensnared by duty, and a deadly investigation that tests not only their reputations, but their very lives and faith.
She cannot remain silent ...
Miss Lily Abbott knows Lord Brendan Ridley is innocent because she saw him enter the widow's home at the very hour of the crime. When the widow refuses to help and the coroner seems eager to condemn, Lily must choose between protecting her reputation and speaking the truth. Trusting in God's providence, she risks her own good name to defend a man who barely recalls her existence. Her courage—and her faith—change both their lives forever.
He goes from accused to engaged in less than a day ...
Lord Brendan Ridley never imagined his recent elevation to baron would be accompanied by a murder accusation. When unexpected deliverance arrives in the form of a determined young lady willing to vouch for him, honor compels him to protect her from the ensuing scandal. Marriage is the only respectable path forward—even if their temperaments clash at every turn. Yet perhaps this is God's appointed hour for them both.
A marriage forged in scandal, tested by danger, and refined by faith ...
Thrown together by circumstance, Lily and Brendan must learn to trust each other—and trust in the Lord—as they seek to uncover the truth behind a deadly mystery. But as their partnership deepens and prayer draws them closer, so too does the possibility that what began as a necessary arrangement might become the love God intended for them all along.
