Publisher's summary

Abused and thrown from her wealthy home as a child, taken in and sheltered by peace-loving Quakers, Lady Alexandra Theodora Beaumont tries to lead the religious, obedient life of her adopted parents. But despite all her efforts, Pace Nicholls brings out the willful child she'd once been.

Raised by a ruthless family, Pace must conceal his weakness for defending the less fortunate. But little Dora acts as his conscience, bringing out his worst flaws. To survive and achieve his ambitions, he must avoid her at all cost.

He didn't realize that the noble Dora could once again become the beautiful Lady Alexandra and be swept forever out of his reach…unless he offers her his hardened heart.

The story was good but I found myself wanting to skip to the end because it felt very long.

Wayward Angle

A very well written story, touching on women abuse which is unfortunately occurs too often even in present times. The story take place during the civil war in the US and also touch on the brutality against slaves. I liked the heroine strength inspire of what she endures and how the hero eventually overcome his anger.

Unexpected gem

This is not a normal frivolous historical romance. It had a lot more depth and some more serious subject matter while still being really enjoyable to listen to. Such a nice surprise. Definitely recommend this book.
