وصف الناشر
From the legendary New York Times bestselling author of Only a Kiss and Only a Promise comes the final book in the rapturous Survivor’s Club series—as the future of one man lies within the heart of a lost but never-forgotten love...
For the first time since the death of his wife, the Duke of Stanbrook is considering remarrying and finally embracing happiness for himself. With that thought comes the treasured image of a woman he met briefly a year ago and never saw again.
Dora Debbins relinquished all hope to marry when a family scandal left her in charge of her younger sister. Earning a modest living as a music teacher, she’s left with only an unfulfilled dream. Then one afternoon, an unexpected visitor makes it come true.
For both George and Dora that brief first encounter was as fleeting as it was unforgettable. Now is the time for a second chance. And while even true love comes with a risk, who are two dreamers to argue with destiny?
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Balogh's warmhearted final Survivors' Club Regency (after Only a Kiss) finally turns to the compassionate Duke of Stanbrook, who brought six wounded strangers five men and one woman into his Cornwall home after their service in the Napoleonic wars and assisted in their physical and mental recovery. Now these close friends have all married happily, and the duke, who lost his son in the wars and his wife soon after, finally admits he is lonely. Even at 48, he would be considered a very desirable match, but he turns to unassuming 39-year-old spinster Dora Debbins, sister-in-law of Lord Ponsonby (familiar from Only Enchanting), instead of looking for a higher-status woman to be his wife. Dora has not dared to admit her yearning for the handsome duke she met when her sister married into the Survivors' Club. She is stunned when the duke turns up in her modest cottage and proposes, but accepting his proposal brings heartache, because even the kind gentleman hides dark secrets that threaten their happy life together. Balogh deftly reveals Dora's growth into an elegant duchess who earns the love of a sensitive man. This is a satisfying conclusion to an intense and popular historical series.

Long read
I was excited for this story as I liked the Duke and Dora in previous novels but it took to long to get to the good part / drama. By the time we got there it was over.
1966 unknown
My favorite book. I loved Dora and the Duke. What a dream come true for both. I have read this many times and have the audio book.
It goes to show that one is never too old for romance and a family.
Every time I read this book it makes me feel good. I hope you enjoy it as much as I have.
The BEST for Last!
Oh this was soooo good! I've read every book in this series ( the survivors ) and I am so going to miss them😢! Been waiting a long time for George's story and it was worth the wait! You won't want it to end! It's just PERFECT🤗
