Description

After the Napoleonic Wars leave deep scars on both body and spirit, Imogen, Lady Barclay, retreats to Hardford Hall in Cornwall, determined to protect the fragile peace she’s built since her husband’s death. When the Earl of Hardford, Percival Hayes, unexpectedly arrives to find the estate—and its widow—far from what he anticipated, their encounter ignites a passion neither of them can easily deny. As old grief and new desire collide, Imogen must confront whether love can truly heal what war has broken, while Percy faces the challenge of earning her trust and restoring her sense of self. Blending Mary Balogh’s signature emotional intensity with Regency-era romance and themes of resilience, loyalty, and second chances, this story explores what it takes to move from survival to renewal—one kiss at a time.
