Publisher's summary

From the legendary New York Times best-selling author of Only a Kiss and Only a Promise comes the final book in the rapturous Survivor's Club series - as the future of one man lies within the heart of a lost but never-forgotten love....

For the first time since the death of his wife, the Duke of Stanbrook is considering remarrying and finally embracing happiness for himself. With that thought comes the treasured image of a woman he met briefly a year ago and never saw again.

Dora Debbins relinquished all hope to marry when a family scandal left her in charge of her younger sister. Earning a modest living as a music teacher, she's left with only an unfulfilled dream. Then, one afternoon, an unexpected visitor makes it come true.

For both George and Dora, that brief first encounter was as fleeting as it was unforgettable. Now is the time for a second chance. And while even true love comes with a risk, who are two dreamers to argue with destiny?

Wonderful Ending to a Series

This was a wonderful ending to a great series of books. With a great series I tend to get emotionally attached to the characters. And this was no different. I worried that George hadn’t found anyone, but then came Dora! The whole series is well worth your time and money.

Nice Ending to a Good Series

This story is about George, the Duke of Stanbrook and Dora Debbins. I wondered how this story would develop because George was like the glue to the members of the Survivor's Club and he had a story to tell. All of the members' stories are somewhat repeated in this story and that's helpful if you don't read the books in order, I truly enjoyed the series.

Well paced story

It is nice to have a story that starts with a marriage, since we all know that's where it is going. The twist, unfortunately, is one we have seen before in her other books and is a bit predictable. That said, this was a lovely end to the survivor series.

Beautifully Found Love through Friendship

This companionable friendship to regard and then love was a beautiful experience to listen to. The narrator did this story justice and I thoroughly enjoyed it.

Maybe the best in the series!

Ok so loved this whole series but the last two books were the best in my opinion. Had more drama adventure and suspense. Just more interesting with a sweet sexy side. Plus u are just sooo happy for them to finally find happiness
