Description

A Riveting Edwardian Series Set among Britain's High Society

Lady Rowena Kinnaird may be the heiress to a Highland earldom, but she has never felt good enough--not for her father, not for the man she thought she'd marry, not for God. But after a shocking attack, she's willing to be forever an outcast if it means escaping Loch Morar.

Brice Myerston, the Duke of Nottingham, has found himself in possession of a rare treasure his enemies are prepared to kill for. While Brice has never been one to shy away from manor-born ladies, the last thing he needs is the distraction of Lady Rowena, who finds herself in a desperate situation. But when Rowena's father tries to trap Brice into marrying his daughter, Brice makes a surprising decision.

Rowena wanted to escape the Highlands, but she's reluctant to marry a notorious flirt. And when she learns that Brice is mixed up in questionable business with a stolen treasure, she fears she's about to end up directly in the path of everything she was trying to avoid.

This book was tough, no doubt about it. It tackled the tough topic of rape, but the author handled it like the pro she is. I especially enjoyed seeing Rowena discover just how sweet a romance could be for a gal who’d been sexually abused. The careful, gentle sweetness of Brice was exactly what Rowena needed, and their romance gave me hope that others found in similar circumstances as Rowena would be able to find healing and hope in the Lord for their future and not completely give up on romance because of their abuser’s cruelty. There is still hope, folks, and this book shows that off beautifully.

The themes of brokenness, hope, trust, and love were woven together without seams into an exquisite tapestry. I recommend this book for older teens and up.

Content: mention of suicide, mention of rape/rape as a theme (not shown on the pages), alcohol
