Blurb:
As long as a lady has hope in her heart, it doesn't matter
the obstacles she faces on the path to love.
Miss Evelina Aston is the youngest child of a
viscount. Through no fault of her own, she’s fallen headfirst into the scandal
of the Season. With her father on the brink of bankruptcy, when she’s caught
alone and in a compromising position with an earl, he calls for an immediate
proposal. It doesn’t matter that the man she’s being forced to wed is a rake
high on the instep, she has no say in the proceedings.
Charles Bowling, Earl of Ethersham—and heir to the
Duke of Tarkington—is in rather a spot of bother. Caught literally with his
pants down in a lady’s retiring room at a ball, he’s mired in further disgrace
when a woman—not the one he was waiting for—comes flying into the room, trips,
and lands at his feet. Parental outrage ensues, and before he can protest, he’s
wedded to the shy lady, and they’re bound for his father’s country estate in
the Lake District to begin their life of married inconvenience.
With tarnished reputations and gossip trailing in
their wake, both Evelina and Charles are forced to endure each other’s company.
As the July days go by, desire flares as hot as the summer sun while they
explore the woodlands and fells, but differences and misunderstandings keep
widening the gulf in their relationship. Unless they find trust and compromise,
they’ll never be able to build something worthy of the future and perhaps love.
My review:
There is power in love and forgiveness.
Charles
Bowling, Earl of Ethersham suffers from PTSD. He can’t let go of the past so
has no future.
Evelina
Aston feels frustrated and helpless as those around her make decisions for her
(without her input) she feels invisible.
When
Charles and Evelina are found in a compromising position they are forced into
marriage.
Can
Charles change his womanizing ways? Can he forgive himself for deeds done in
war? Can he learn to love himself so he might love others?
Will
Evelina find a way through to Charles’ heart? Can she show him that in love
there is hope?
Find
out in this sweet, sassy and sexy tale of love and forgiveness.
Though
this is part of a series it can be read standalone.
