In this regency romance about undying love a battle-scarred soldier and his dauntless widow learn that nothing is ever truly lost…if there’s someone left to fight for it.
England 1806: EDWARD DUNNING had it all, a beautiful home, two adorable children and a wife he has loved all his life. But still he yearned for more, for excitement, for adventure, for the glory of war and heroism. How foolish he had been! How young!
Crippled in body and soul by the horrors of war, Edward returns home after two years. Two years during which his family thought him dead, fallen in battle. Scarred and bitter, Edward knows that he has no right to be allowed back into their lives. After all, how could his beautiful wife love the unfeeling monster he has become?
Still, Edward knows he needs to see to his family’s welfare if nothing else.
The moment she learned of her husband’s death, MEAGAN DUNNING’s life fell apart. Each breath hurt. Each step was agony. Each day a reminder of her loss. Still, as a mother, Meagan had to find a way to continue on, to smile and laugh, to grow stronger. Not for herself, but for her son and daughter.
And then, two years later, another day upends her world yet again.
In front of her, Meagan sees a ghost of her past, a ghost that reminds her of a man of flesh and blood, a man she loved beyond reason. However, this ghost is crippled in more ways than the eye can see, and she can feel him slipping away the moment he shows up on her doorstep.
Edward had forgotten his wife’s fierce will and unyielding love. He’d forgotten how wonderful it felt to hold her in his arms. He’d forgotten the simple joys of a kiss and a touch. Unfortunately, Meagan is determined to remind him…and he knows his will has never been a match for hers.
