About this ebook

During a minutes-long span three years ago, their lives were forever changed when Lady Morgan Cardiff nearly drowned.

Returning to the disastrous scene for the first time, Emma Hathaway is older, wiser—and ready to move on. With her parents quickly aging, she needs a husband. Alas, she is an awkward, bookish girl with no dowry to recommend her, and she is far from being an Incomparable or an heiress who might rouse a gentleman’s interest. Her hopes of changing the ton’s view of her are dashed upon the arrival of the others involved in that life-altering moment. Aidan Cardiff’s perpetual glares prove he blames Emma for Morgan’s scarred, blind condition. His unfounded hatred alone leaves Emma shaken, but his unbidden advances threaten to thwart her husband-hunt.

Ever since his sister’s failed attempts to take her own life, Aidan Cardiff has been a loathsome, brooding artist. He’s spent three years creating artwork to depict the revenge he’d like to exact against anyone, save himself, who can be blamed for Morgan’s pervasive melancholy. Yet his art has been far from enough to assuage the rage he’s built inside. Morgan is finally ready to live again, but Aidan fears letting her out of his sight—particularly with Emma Hathaway, the chit whose very existence sets his blood to boiling. But is the heat fueling his fire due solely to his anger, or is there something more?

Key words: Regency romance, emotional romance, historical romance, aristocrat, artist, suicide

Altogether a very pleasing book to read, with the following exceptions: What happened to the Momma cat and her kittens? It would be totally out of character for Emma to leave her alone and scared in the midst of birthing her babies. And she would never fail to follow up with their care and adoption, not to mention keeping some for herself! The epilogue fails to tie up the loose ends, specifically the romances, the wrong engagement for Serena, and who called Kingley away from Morgan in the woods, PLUS did the right man offer for HER hand?

The story and writing began really well but then Aidan's inner turmoil of hatred for Emma became endlessly repetitive and finally, the story itself became boring in the extreme. The only reason that I finished the book at all was to find out what another reviewer had meant about the confusing events at the end.

it falls short of being a stand alone book. nothing is resolved by the end. its repetitive and really boring after the first 3 chapters.
