Description
Wounded in the Peninsular War and estranged from his family and former fiancée, Major Jack Carstairs has withdrawn to his country estate, determined to live apart from society. His solitude is disrupted by the spirited Kate Farleigh, whose refusal to accept charity—and refusal to indulge his brooding ways—brings her unexpectedly into his household. As Kate challenges Jack to confront the wounds beneath his isolation, their wary association develops into a deeply affecting romance shaped by resilience, pride, and redemption. Combining sparkling Regency wit with emotional depth, this award-winning historical romance explores the courage it takes to risk rejoining the human race—and opening one’s heart.
