All He Wanted was Justice. All She Wanted was His Heart.
Georgina Whitmore, not accustomed to any man being unaffected by her
charms, is plagued with the disappearance and rejection of Simon
Fancourt. Twelve years later, Mr. Fancourt returns to British society
with two children and a mad hunger for justice.
Racing against
time, Simon works to uncover the men responsible for his wife’s
horrific murder, protect his children, and fulfill his father’s
unexpected will by marrying Georgina—the last thing in the world he
wants to do.
Though her heart throbs to accept, she would
rather lose him again than have his name without his love. She denies
his proposal of matrimony, knowing it will cost them both. But as
tragedies unravel and secret enemies narrow their sights on Simon,
Georgina risks her life—and her reputation—to protect him and the
children. Will the danger scorch them alive? Or will it, for the first
time, open his heart to her?

My Review
This story takes us from England to Colonial American and back, and beware there is a lot, and I mean a lot of violence in this book. At times you will not know whom will survive, and actually whom to trust.
Parents of young children promise that their children will marry, he decides not to and leave, and he goes on a journey to America. When he returns with two children in tow, he finds that things have changed. He needs to marry the girl he left behind, but this is where they both dig in. There is so much going on here, and someone wants him dead.
The children are delightful, and we are offered some rather odd sweet romance, but beware that danger seems to be around every corner!
How this all turns out is, well, you will need to keep page turning!
I received this book through Net Galley and the Publisher Barbour, and was not required to give a positive review.
