5-Stars Review
I absolutely loved this historical romance. The chemistry between lead characters is off the chart. It also gets six out five stars for giving off-the-charts background story to our hero and heroine.

Trevor never thought he will see Lucy again, and now that she is back in his life, he is having trouble to decide what to do about it. One thing is for sure, he feels responsible for her and will indeed help her no matter what...
