Great Story
Just a couple of days before they were to be married, Marcus Fletcher and Lady Adele Sinclair attended a party with her brother. Harry stole a necklace from the hostess (with whom he was having a liaison. He panicked and slipped it into Marcus’s pocket, resulting in Marcus being arrested for a crime he did not commit. He was kept in jail for months, believing he had been betrayed by Adele and her brother. In truth, they were trying to raise the money for Marcus’s release. Adele wrote him let him know what they were doing, but he was not given the letter or any of the others she sent. Months later they meet again in London. A lot stands between them. Can they regain the trust they had before and be together as they had planned? Will Marcus be able to forgive Harry when he knows the whole story?
The characters in this story are well developed and realistic. They capture your heart and keep you pulling for them from beginning to end (well, maybe not Sampson and Millicent). Marcus and Adele are good together and endure a lot to be together. Adele’s brothers are fantastic. They each deserve their own story. Russell and Claudine are back and are more than willing to help Marcus and Adele find their way back to happily ever after.
I voluntarily reviewed an ARC of this book.
