Abstract:

Julia Hale ran off to be married in Gretna Green, following romance instead of common sense. But her tale isn't turning into a happily ever after. Her new husband is gone and she doesn't know where or if he's ever coming back. Julia has no option but to return home to the family she betrayed by eloping and hope they'll forgive her. Especially now that she might be carrying a baby from her brief marriage. Major Thomas Hale has spent a lifetime trying to escape his past only to discover that he can never really evade the consequences of his choices. Hunted by those determined to eliminate him as a threat, he runs to save himself yet he hasn't lost his pursuers and he may have lost his wife forever. When they're reunited, powerful enemies, financial distress, family opposition and fears from the past all build walls against reconciliation. Can this heroic army major and his broken hearted bride learn to forgive and find the strength for their runaway marriage to be redeemed?

Publisher's Weekly Review

In the pleasant third installment of her Regency Brides: A Promise of Hope series (following Miss Serena's Secret) Miller traces the rocky relationship between Thomas and Julia Hale through the first year of their marriage. Thomas and Julia (who met through Thomas's brother) begin their relationship with immediate strain after the impetuous pair elopes to Gretna Green, a village in Southern Scotland known for hasty matrimonial arrangements, infuriating Julia's family. Soon, Thomas disappears and Julia is forced to return to her family as the prodigal daughter. When Thomas reappears with a farfetched explanation, Julia is quick to forgive-until he disappears again, and again. Julia's mother and brother are exasperated, and a bit confused, as to how she continues to be swept away by Thomas despite his roguish behavior. When Julia gives birth to a boy, Thomas swears to reform his ways, and things slowly begin to change. The couple must learn to trust each other and work hard to convince Julia's family and friends that Thomas has become a man worthy of her. Although religious themes never dominate, Julia's attempts to reform Thomas are always based in her strong faith. This is a tender Regency romance speckled with mystery, intrigue, and the freeing power of forgiveness. (Nov.) © Copyright PWxyz, LLC. All rights reserved.
