Description
A passionate Regency romance from award-winning author Ann Lethbridge!
“Michele Ann Young paints a beautiful story of a woman
running away . . .” —Historical Fiction
Online
Driven
to despair by her husband’s endless abuse and ridicule, Lucinda, Lady Denbigh,
can endure no more. With no one to turn to, she flees London to take quiet
refuge in the countryside, determined to build a new life of her own. Posing as
a widow, she finds a small cottage to lease on the far reaches of a vast estate,
relieved that she might finally find peace and safety—until her new landlord,
the strikingly handsome and taciturn Lord Hugo Wanstead, presents an entirely
different kind of threat to her composure.
Just
back from the wars, Hugo is tormented by the physical and emotional scars that
mark him. With his estate near financial ruin and his sleep torn by nightmares,
he wishes only to be left in solitude. But when he meets the new widowed tenant
on his estate, he finds her hauntingly beautiful in body and soul—and finds
himself overcome by powerful sensual longing.
While
the gentle Lucinda conjures up ways to draw the handsome and hurting Hugo out
of his loneliness, he’s intrigued by her courage and her lively mind. But just
as an inevitable passion stirs between these two damaged souls, a damning
secret about Lucinda’s troubled past will be laid bare, and they will be forced
to confront each other and a cruel foe to save their only chance at love.
This book was originally published under the
author name Michele Ann Young.

This was an enthralling read and it kept me gripped to the end. What a change it made to read of a main character who wasn’t as beautiful and as slim as the usual heroine. However, Lucinda had a beauty all of her own, she was strong and brave and found a kindred spirit in Hugo, Lord Wanstead. There were many obstacles in their hope of a happy ever after, including Lucinda’s despicable husband and Hugo’s insecurity. The main activity takes place in a village setting and there were a number of secondary characters that added to the charm of this book. This was the first book I’ve read by this author and I’ve already purchased another. I received a copy from Netgalley and have voluntarily reviewed. This is my honest review.
