Romance Historical
In the aftermath of a vicious rape, Juliana Colebrook shuns
men, except for the injured soldiers she nurses. Orphaned
and alone, she desperately wants to leave Portugal for the
protection of her relatives in England. Of course, if she were going to trust a man, it would
be Brigade-Major Colwyn Hetherington with his self-
deprecating humour and innate sense of responsibility. So
when Colwyn is offered a dream job managing a large estate
in Wiltshire, Juliana asks him to escort her to England. Colly, still devastated from being thrown out of his
family home after a woman accused him of rape, is forced to
reveal his past. As he walks away from her he fires a
parting shot—-keep away from relatives. Families mean
trouble. When Juliana arrives in England, Colly’s words turn out
to be prophetic. Her longed-for relatives are involved in
child trafficking and they’ve found Juliana a ‘nice job’ at
the infirmary of the Hungerford Workhouse for Women and
Children—-right in the lion’s den. Deep in danger, who should she trust—-the
disgraced ‘rapist’ or her new-found family? When Colly saves her life not once, but twice, the
answer is obvious.
