(2025)(A book in the Lovers' Arch: Later in Life series)
A novel by Lavinia Glen
He healed her body
Esther Knightsbridge, the Dowager Countess of Hartfield, is a shadow of her former self. After a devastating accident left her wheelchair-bound, she watches in despair as her daughter makes her debut in society, knowing her disability renders her unable to be the mother her child needs. When Mr. Wang, a Chinese doctor friend of the family, offers to help her walk again, cautious hope sparks. What she doesn't expect is that his presence will awaken something even deeper in her heart.
She healed his heart
Wang has spent years using his knowledge of medicine to mend bodies and spirits. But his own past remains an unhealed wound. When he meets the spirited yet sorrowful Esther, her resilience and courage stir something he thought long dead; a connection as undeniable as it is forbidden. As he works to restore her mobility, their bond deepens, igniting a passion neither can ignore.
Together, they became whole.
But as their love blossoms, they must face not only their own demons but also the prejudice of a society that threatens to tear them apart. Their love has the power to heal them both, but can it survive the world opposing their union?
