Synopsis
Ruth Croome, a Blackamoor heiress, was supposed to get married in a gorgeous wedding gown, made from her father's exquisite fabrics. Instead, they eloped to Gretna Green and upon returning, their carriage was beset by highwaymen and she witnessed the murder of her new husband. Now, four years later, with a child, she wants to move on with her life. A marriage of convenience will do. Ruth already had a love for the ages.
Adam Wilky is really the heir to the Wycliff barony—which he never told Ruth. Too much danger. So many secrets. When he was nearly beaten to death and sold into impressment, he thought Ruth had died, too. Ready for revenge, he finally returns and discovers Ruth alive—with a son who could only be his—and she is furious to discover he lied to her. Now it'll take more than remembered passion if he hopes to win his reluctant wife back . . .

The hero and heroine here are interesting people who work well together for this story. Their romantic chemistry and physical relationship are prominent and intense but nothing R-rated.
I “flew” through the entire read in a day. Quite a rare occurrence for me and novels of this length.
