Lyan and Sally (now Estelle) grew up together in a rough neighborhood but after their night together where they agreed to marry she leaves him and doesnt see him again until 10 years later. Although I can understand why Estelle left Lyan, I dont get why then would she help other woman marry for love yet doesnt give herself the opportunity to do so? Clearly he still loves her and yet she still refuses to trust him and gives excuses on why they cant be together again. Ok so she has a fear due to what her mother said and went through, yet is willing to put other women into that potential path - oh but it's ok because she does background checks of the potential men before agreeing to help these women elope - yet she cant trust the one man who has more than proved himself - practice what you preach woman! I thought she was stubborn and stupid and to make matters worse she doesnt tell Lyan about her suspicion about his sister. Oh and let's not forget the daughter he never knew about. Im sorry but there was nothing to like about her. The potential was there but the reasons of why the heroine acted the way she did were in my opinion weak and I cannot recommend this novella. Lyan was great though but Estelle didnt deserve him and I really dont know why he loved her and why he forgave everything she did to him so quickly. I wish Lyan had been more reserve and took pride in himself and didnt so easily time and time again try to convince Estelle to be his. Oh and how convenient that Lyan was now to become the lost earl, it should have stayed between the shop owner and the bow street runner!
