Overview
A mesmerising story of passionate awakening and redemption, Mary Balogh''s new novel unites a war hero consigned to darkness with a remarkable woman who finds her own salvation by showing him the light of love.
Blinded by a cannon blast on the Napoleonic battlefields, Vincent Hunt, Lord Darleigh, needs time away from the well-meaning meddling - and matchmaking - of his family. But anonymity proves impossible, and soon another marital trap is sprung. Luckily, he is saved in time by a stranger with a captivating voice that stirs something deep inside. And when Miss Sophia Fry''s intervention on his behalf finds her unceremoniously booted from her guardian''s home, Vincent can see a solution to both their problems: marriage.
At first, quiet, unassuming Sophia rejects Vincent''s proposal. But when such a gloriously handsome and heartbreakingly vulnerable man persuades her that he needs a wife of his own choosing as much as she needs protection from destitution, she agrees. Dare they believe a bargain born of desperation might lead them both to a love destined to be?
