Romance Historical
Michele Ann Young's characters grapple with issues that have plagued men and women for centuries-fashions in beauty, pressure to conceive a baby, physical and psychological abuse, alcoholism, and the aftermath of the trauma of war. The modern reader finds themes she can relate to and characters for whom she can cheer set in the gracious era of the Regency.
Running from a husband who abuses her because she is unfashionably tall and big and has failed to produce an heir, Lucinda, Lady Denbigh, rescues a street urchin and poses as a widow with a small daughter.
Reclusive ex-soldier Lord Hugo Wanstead is back from the Peninsular Wars with a wound that won't heal and a seeming inability to stop drinking.
When he encounters Lucinda, they both feel they've been offered a second chance, but when her husband discovers where she is, her life, her love, and her adopted child could all be destroyed ...
