I love this historical story about love and redemption. Mary Smith's virtue is being sold by her half-brother, Matthias. Alasdair Thornham, Marquess of Datchworth in his drunken and narcosis state of mind wants to save this innocent beauty. He buys her for five pounds. Despite his addiction, he has a worthy heart. In his mind, he plans to marry her and bring her to London Society and then he would vanish into narcotic oblivion. It was unclear why he was addicted to opium pills. Majority of the story is them on the road running from her brother and his cousin who want to declare Alasdair demented. The main idea of this love story is he saves her and she saves him right back through their love. I received a complimentary copy from NetGalley for an honest review.
