Hi! I need help finding a historical romance that I remember loving, but I can't think of the title or the author for the life of me.

The main female character walks with a limp. She finds a little girl and a baby walking on a sidewalk and she takes them to the man she thinks is their father. He's their uncle, raising them because their parents have died. The little girl says she is a poor, motherless child. I remember that the main character pours a glass of water over the little girl's head in a moment of frustration because of the girl's complaints/bad behavior.

The main character thinks she can't ever have children because of the injury that makes her limp, but then she has a baby with no problem.

I will be so grateful if you can help me! Thank you.

Pretty sure this is FOOL FOR LOVE by Eloisa James.

Could it be Hazard by Jo Beverley?

ETA: Oh, never mind. It's not that. Sorry.

No problem! That's one of my favorite books of all time. And I loved that the kids weren't little angels:)
