Publisher Description

Ashlyn Macnamara weaves a delicious tale of two souls torn apart by circumstance and reunited by fate—perfect for fans of Julia Quinn, Eloisa James, and Sabrina Jeffries.
 
Henrietta Upperton is about to marry Alexander Sanford when he rushes off to India to salvage his family’s fortune. Then comes the devastating news that he has wed another. Eight agonizing years later, a storm washes Alexander ashore—injured, widowed, and hunted—and one glimpse of his ruggedly handsome face reawakens the desire Henrietta thought she had buried deep inside. Her body still yearns for his touch, but she’s determined not let him wound her again . . . not this time.
 
For Alexander, honor always comes first. But only now does he realize that when given the choice between two virtuous deeds, he picked the wrong one. On the run with his life in tatters and a pair of daughters in tow, Alexander burns for Henrietta. He knows he does not deserve forgiveness. And yet he longs to wrap his arms around her warm body once again. What’s more, he is sure the lady craves the same.

Cheryl SDS ,

Love a strong heroine!

Henrietta was engaged to Alexander. He sailed to India on business and she started hearing rumors of his marriage to another. She never spoke to him again, until now. Eight years later he's back, a widower with 2 children and no willing explanation as to why he married another. Along with his two little girls, he's also brought danger trailing behind him.

The choices Alexander made were terrible and it's awful how he messed up Henrietta's life. After all is said and done, his reasons were still not good enough for me. I felt bad for Henrietta but she did handle all of it quite well. Henrietta was strong at a time when options for single women were few. I also loved the fact that she couldn't keep from using language that just wasn't appropriate for women in those times.

This story had mystery, intrigue, family issues, strong women, love, and lots of tough choices. I loved every minute of it! I can't wait to read the next book, What a Lady Demands.

Received a copy in exchange for an honest review.
