A short (~100pgs) story but full of emotion & lovely characters in the hero & heroine whom I totally fell in love with from the beginning.Jocelyn is a lovely heroine. Spunky, passionate & full of life. Determined to save her impecunious family & provide for her younger siblings she threatens the Duke of Claydon at gunpoint never expecting him to propose marriage.The chemistry between is palpable from the start. Sebastian has blocked all emotion from his life after catching his mother with her lover when only 6 years old. His father thereafter alienates his mother from his & leaves him to blame his mother not knowing that all the while it’s his father to blame for her supposed abandonment of him. The story of how Jocelyn brings Sebastian back to life is warm & lovely."Love was something he had banished from his life years ago out of necessity, but she made him yearn to be loved."I loved how Anthony, Sebastian's brother describes Jocelyn which is so very embodies her personality:“It’s no laughing matter, Sebastian.” Anthony grimaced in chagrin. “She rode her horse astride, her skills with her bow surpassed any I had ever seen. She hunted, Sebastian. And I don’t mean for fox. After a few weeks, I realized how different she was from the women of the ton. She made no effort to be demure, and her energy left me dizzy"*Complimentary copy received from publisher for an honest review.
