The Foolish Wife He Adores

Emma Doyle was seven when she drank the poison meant for Stephen Grayson. Her mind stopped growing that day. Years later she is sent out to meet the betrothal arranged for her and climbs into the wrong bridal sedan chair, the one belonging to Governor Dylan Everett. He ends up married to a bride he was not expecting and does not send her back. He flies kites with her. He hangs a swing for her. He goes looking for doctors, and he sits with her and teaches her to write her own name one stroke at a time, and it is the first time anyone has treated her gently. Then the mix-up comes out, and Stephen Grayson, the boy she took the poison for, comes after her to bring her home. She has two men and one answer to give, and she picks the one who taught her what being loved feels like.
