Synopsis

Betrothed to Marcus Balfour, Marquess Althorn since infancy, the entirety of Miss Jane Barrett's life has been planned for her by others. Through an overheard argument, Jane discovers at a tender age that her betrothed is opposed to the match. The knowledge wounds her deeply and sows the first seeds of rebellion in her. Rather than marry her, the Marquess joins the army but disappears in one of the war's bloodiest battles.

Marcus's objections to the marriage were less about the bride than the immorally young age of the bride at which their greedy and meddling fathers wished to force the match. While fighting for king and country, Marcus is confronted with the knowledge that there is a traitor in their midst, a man far closer to him than he might wish to admit. But he is captured, imprisoned, tortured, and left to rot for years until he can make his way back home to take up his rightful place as the Elsingham heir . . . and as a husband to Jane Barrett.

The years that have passed have eradicated any reservations about marriage to his betrothed, at least on his part. No man looking at her would ever mistake her for a child. More surprising is the attraction that he feels for her instantaneously and his determination to make her his, whatever the cost. It appears, however, that his bride to be will require some convincing.

Jane was betrothed to Marcus since she was an infant. Her sizable dowry and his title seemed like a good match, well for their parents of course.

Goodreads review by Tracy on April 08, 2018

Marcus and Jane Chasity Bowlin writes the most exquisitely intricate tales. Her villainous plots involve multiple parties with varying motives. Who will live, who will die, it's always up in the air until the very last moment. This story was no different. An overheard conversation is misinterpreted b......more

Goodreads review by Kitcatscratch on July 23, 2019

Kinda strange but I found this difficult to finish which was odd because I adored the first two in the series. Ms. Bowlin has shown growth with each of her novels with regards to structure, consistency and further depth of character. She has always been a strong storyteller. Of course I will still re......more
