The Renegade Wife

kicks off the new Children of Empire series, companion stories to award-winning author Caroline Warfield's Dangerous series. Raised with all the privilege of the English aristocracy, forged on the edges of the British Empire, men and woman of the early Victorian age seek their own destiny and make their mark on history. The Renegade Wife is the story of healing and a journey home, of choices and the freedom to make them, set in 1832 in Upper Canada and in England.

Two hearts betrayed by love...

Desperate and afraid, Meggy Blair will do whatever it takes to protect her children. She'd hoped to find sanctuary from her abusive husband with her Ojibwa grandmother, but can't locate her. When her children fall ill, she finds shelter in an isolated cabin in Upper Canada. But when the owner unexpectedly returns, he's furious to find squatters disrupting his self-imposed solitude.

Reclusive businessman Rand Wheatly had good reason to put an ocean between himself and the family that deceived him. He just wants the intrusive woman gone, but it isn't long before Meggy and the children start breaking down the defensive walls he's built. But their fragile interlude is shattered when Meggy's husband appears to claim his children, threatening to have Rand jailed.

The only way for Meggy to protect Rand is to leave him. But when her husband takes her and the children to England, Meggy discovers he's far more than an abuser; what he's involved in endangers all their lives. To rescue the woman who has stolen his heart, Rand must follow her and do what he swore he'd never do: reconcile with his aristocratic family and finally uncover the truth behind all the lies. But time is running out for them all.
