He carries scars no one sees. Hers are worn openly. But both need healing. Sir Frederick Lancaster survived the war—but survival came at a cost. Haunted by loss, guilt, and the cruel luck that left him breathing while his friend did not, he lives each day as though he owes the world a debt he can’t repay. When tragedy strikes again and a title he never wanted falls into his lap, duty demands he wed. What it does not demand… is hope.
She was burned. Judged. Pitied. But she never gave up. Ellie Munford knows what people see when they look at her—and what they assume about the scars she wears on her skin. But pain has taught her grace, and in the ashes of loss, she’s chosen joy. Still, when Frederick becomes her unexpected husband, she wonders: can her quiet resolve reach someone trapped in so much darkness?
Their marriage was meant to serve duty. But Ellie makes Frederick wish it could be more. As their bond grows, Frederick begins to see Ellie not as consolation, but as possibility. Her laughter surprises him. Her kindness humbles him. And slowly, Ellie shows him that scars can be honored… without letting them take the lead. That pain may shape a person, but it doesn’t define them. Not unless they let it.
He thought he was cursed. She came to prove he could still be chosen.
🔥 If you’ve ever struggled to forgive your past—and longed for someone who sees you clearly and loves you still… this story is yours.
Each love story in this series can be read as a stand-alone. However, most readers prefer to read them in order.
🪶 I write love stories that heal slowly and speak gently—about courage, belonging, and becoming. They start with romance. They stay for heart.
It was an amazing story of love and redemption after betrayal and abandonment. But I had already read it. I wish she would tell when these are not new stories.
Delightful story! I enjoyed finding out about how Charles Whickerton and Beatrice came together. Beatrice has found herself in a situation where she may be forced, by her parents, to marry a much older man. When Charles first meets her, he is determined to make her his own. This is a beautiful, romantic tale and I highly recommend it.

Another beautiful story by this intrepid author. I loved the previous books in this series but this one blows the others out of the water. Troy and Nora are such fabulous characters that you struggle to understand why they separated five years ago. Secrets & misunderstandings along with some twists and turns kept my interest from start to finish. I thought that Grandma Edie was wonderful! This is a fantastic story that you don’t want to miss, but it helps to have read the earlier stories, in order to understand the Whickerton family members.
