England, 1799: A traumatized soldier returning to a derelict inheritance. A widow with a small son and a manipulative father.  

Major Matthew Southam returns from India, hoping to put the trauma of war behind him and forget his past. Instead, he finds a derelict estate and a family who wish he'd died abroad.   

Charlotte MacKinnon married without love to avoid her father's unpleasant choice of husband. Now a widow with a young son, she lives in a small Cotswold village with only the money she earns by her writing.   

Matthew is haunted by his past, and Charlotte is fearful of her father's renewed meddling in her future. After a disastrous first meeting, can they help each other find happiness?

Witty, engaging historical with well a rounded cast of characters. There is satisfying character and story development, a great tangle of community, relationships, intrigue and gentle humour with a twist. A great read and audio performance.

Satisfying unusual historical novel
