title: Unveiled (Zebra Historical Romance)
author:  Kristina Cook 
description: Happily, the promise so evident in Cook's debut, <i>Unlaced</i> [BKL N 1 04], is fulfilled. Jane Rosemoor has a very good reason for not marrying: an unspoken malady afflicts many of the women in her family after childbirth, even driving an aunt to her death. Wanting to find out more about it, she goes to stay with her cousin, Emily, who is nearing the birth of her first child and who lives in proximity to their grandmother, who suffers from the ailment. The neighboring estate is home to Hayden, Earl of Westfield, and his young ward, Madeline. Hayden needs a wife, both to have an heir and to have a woman to take charge of Madeline. However, he doesn't want to fall in love again because everyone he has ever loved has died. The dynamic between a loving woman who doesn't want to marry and a passionate hero who doesn't want to love is mesmerizing as once again Cook provides thoroughly enjoyable entertainment. <i>Diana Tixier Herald</i><br /><i>Copyright  American Library Association.
