Husband Wanted (HC #1) by Flo_Writes

Elizbeth Anne Humphrey wants a husband. Her expectations are not outlandish; all she asks is that he be reasonably handsome, reasonably wealthy and completely kind. Her brothers have offered their assistance, and it's given her hope that perhaps there is a man out there who might want her for a wife. But alas, the first man she meets after recommitting to the battle against spinsterhood is reasonably handsome, reasonably naked and completely soaked through and stranded on their front steps. He also has a head-wound and no memory of who he is, but Elizabeth Humphrey has larger mysteries to solve; namely, the mystery of who she might marry.

Philippa finds England a hotbed of political intrigue, with Edward's father dead under mysterious circumstances, and his mother eager to take control of the throne. Scheming nobles, a vicious dowager queen, loyal servants, jousts, and psychological warfare ensues. Can Philippa navigate her way through the mess of English politics while forging a relationship with her new husband? Based on the fascinating true story. Trigger/Content warning: this is primarily YA, however, due to the fact that the teenage characters are married there is extended discussion regarding the fact that the characters are expected to have sex. Nothing graphic or particularly steamy on page, but true to reality the teenage characters are in fact married. Some brief violence. Some brief profanity. Some psychological discussions regarding family relationships.
