Summary

"Young widow Charlotte Grey faces an uncertain future . . . until a chance encounter with her first love gives her heart a second chance in this Regency romance set on the Yorkshire Moors"--, Provided by publisherEngland, 1817. Knowing her father would never consent to his only daughter marrying a man he deemed beneath their family's station, Charlotte Grey bid her final farewell to Anthony Welbourne, honored her father's wishes, and married wealthy Roland Prior. Anthony immersed himself as a soldier fighting a war overseas, then as a member of William Walstead's watchmen, a rugged band of men dispatched to deal with perilous situations. His life's focus is to fight for those who can't fight for themselves. When Charlotte's husband dies unexpectedly, she realizes how many people he'd angered on his relentless quest for wealth, and flees with her infant son, Henry, home to Hollythorne House. Anthony is one of the hired watchman sent to protect her. When new threats emerge and the past collides with the present, both must decide what they are willing to risk to create a new future together. -- adapted from back cover
