But when Helen and her children, Abigail and Jamie, are finished with him, he might discover a future he never dared dream of. Amazed to find himself yielding to Helen’s machinations, Alistair gives her one week to prove to him that he’s better off with these changes in his life. So, she gathers her courage, straightens her spine and goes about thwarting Alistair’s intentions to see them gone. He manipulated Helen once by taking away their infant daughter and she’s under no illusions that he’d do it again and this time permanently. Lister doesn’t love her, probably never has, but what he thinks is his stays his. On the run from her former protector the Duke of Lister, she must find a place to hide herself and her children.

Helen Halifax can’t afford to let this beastly man turn her way.

He doesn’t want her or her children in his life, thank you very much, now go away. Therefore, when a woman with two children presents herself at his door as his new housekeeper, he knows she’s lying. Living alone, except for a surly, lazy manservant, in a dirty castle in a remote part of Scotland while he works on his latest book on the flora and fauna of the British Isles. Sir Alistair Munroe thinks his life is the way he wants it. I just now finished the book and am happy as a clam at high tide. When Jane sent out a DA email asking for our recommendations for May, I realized I, once again, needed to get off my ass and read. I want them to find happiness and when they do, I’m thrilled. I believe in the circumstances you place them in. What else can I say? I believe in these characters.
