Margaretta Fortescue desperately needs to disappear from London society, and her only hope is to follow the rumors of another young woman who recently made a life for herself away from the glare of society. Her search leads her to the market town of Marlborough where, in spite of her efforts to avoid attention, she can't seem to elude local solicitor Nash Banfield.
All Nash wants is a quiet, sedate life--no risks or surprises. When Margaretta, clearly on the run and unwilling to answer questions, interrupts his solitude, his curiosity and his principles won't let him leave this determined woman without assistance.
But will discovering the truth about Margaretta make him think twice about finally taking a risk on love?
My Thoughts
I fell in love with this author from the moment I started the novella prequel to her first series Hawthorne House. And while I'm sad to see that series end I am so excited for this new adventure! This story was the perfect way to kick it off and I absolutely loved it!
Nash and Margaretta we both wonderful characters and it was fun to watch as they went from wary strangers, to bantering friends, and finally to something more than friends! Nash's protective nature was endearing and I loved the way he looked out for all those around him. And I admired how Margaretta didn't take the easy route, instead doing whatever she had to do to keep an inocent life safe.
I also loved Mrs. Lancaster and her not so subtle meddling ways! In short this novella was such a good read and I cannot wait till the rest of the series releases!
