One Night for Love by Mary Balogh is a captivating Regency romance that opens the beloved Bedwyn Saga series. Set in the elegant world of ballrooms, country estates, and the rigid social rules of early 19th-century England, this novel tells the moving story of Neville Wyatt, Earl of Kilbourne, and the unexpected return of his lost wife, Lily. Just as Neville prepares to marry another, a ragged figure interrupts the ceremony — the very woman he once married in a fleeting moment of passion during the chaos of war.
What follows is a tender and turbulent journey as Lily, determined to rebuild her life, refuses to accept the role of countess on obligation alone. She chooses to earn her place in society on her own terms, gradually transforming into a woman worthy of both love and admiration in the eyes of the ton. Neville, in turn, must confront his feelings and prove that his heart longs for more than duty — for a lifetime together.
Romance readers who cherish stories of second chances, strong-willed heroines, and emotionally layered heroes will find One Night for Love an unforgettable beginning to the Bedwyn Saga.
