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 shotβ-keep away from relatives. Families mean trouble. When Juliana arrives in England, Collyβs words turn out to be prophetic. Her longed-for relatives are involved in child trafficking and theyβve found Juliana a βnice jobβ at the infirmary of the Hungerford Workhouse for Women and Childrenβ-right in the lionβs den. Deep in danger, who should she trustβ-the disgraced βrapistβ or her new-found family? When Colly saves her life not once, but twice, the answer is obvious.
