From New York Times bestselling author, Eileen Dreyer, a tender and stirring Regency historical romance about a husband six years buried, a wife who mourned him, and a reunion shadowed by doubt, longing, and returning danger.
Lady Eleanor Anne Winchell Long doesn’t recognize the man who bumps into her on the Marine Parade and asks how she’s been. Which is strange—because he is her husband. Stranger still, she stood at his graveside and watched him buried six years ago.
A great deal has changed since. Ellie has a son. And Richard, it seems, survived a press gang and six long years at sea. But too much time and too many secrets sit between them now: he cannot be certain little Jamie is his—or whether Ellie herself sent the press gang after him to be rid of him. Ellie cannot know whether the man returned to her is still the one she loved. And as they circle the fragile hope of finding their way back, the danger that once tore them apart is closing in again.
Perfect for readers who love:
