Bronwyn Pickering yearns for the freedom to focus on her entomology work. Ash Hawkins, the Duke of Buckley, needs to find his wards, who have fled his neglectful care. He tracks them to Bronwyn’s village and encounters her on the ground, with her precious insect specimens clinging to her dress—and offers to kill them. It is not the typical meet cute, but for this emotional Regency, which involves multiple kinds of abuse in the backstory, it fits. And the two find that they also fit, quickly discovering the mutual freeing benefits of marriage: he gets someone to befriend his wards; she gets a library of her own and freedom to study. They thought that was all that was at stake, but they soon become deeply involved. Deftly evoked, their hard-earned love and trust builds a family.
VERDICT The first spin-off of Britton’s (A Duke Worth Fighting For) “Isle of Synne” series is a psychologically wrought tale that moves at a quick pace and showcases her skill for writing dialogue and staging engaging scenes. A good pick for readers who like to feel all the emotions of a story.
