In this
poignant novel of longing and salvation, a hopeful widow and a resilient
war hero discover the promise of love’s magic and new beginnings.
After surviving the Napoleonic Wars, Sir Benedict Harper is struggling
to move on, his body and spirit in need of a healing touch. Never does
Ben imagine that hope will come in the form of a beautiful woman who has
seen her own share of suffering. After the lingering death of her
husband, Samantha McKay is at the mercy of her oppressive in-laws—until
she plots an escape to distant Wales to claim a house she has inherited.
Being a gentleman, Ben insists that he escort her on the fateful
journey.
Ben wants Samantha as much as she wants him, but he
is cautious. What can a wounded soul offer any woman? Samantha is ready
to go where fate takes her, to leave behind polite society and even
propriety in her desire for this handsome, honorable soldier. But dare
she offer her bruised heart as well as her body? The answers to both
their questions may be found in an unlikely place: in each other’s arms
This
was Mary Balogh at her best. I could not put "The Escape" down. It was
just, simply put, a fantastic all around read. I loved the characters,
the setting and the road to true love. Great job.
