Description

The 1840s: a time of increasing social awareness, particularly for progressive cotton mill owner Adrian Bennett and his son Christopher.

One social issue Christopher has never considered is violence against women. A Robert Browning poem and a chance encounter with Katerina Valentino change everything.

Katerina fears for her life because of her father's violent behavior. When Christopher is entranced by the delicate, dark-haired beauty, he decides to rescue her - by marrying her.

But Katerina's years of abuse have left her physically and emotionally scarred, threatening the newlyweds' happiness. Is Christopher's tender affection enough to help heal Katerina's broken spirit?

This book contains graphic sex and is not suitable for readers under the age of 18.

    This book was a wonderful read. It deals with the power of love and also problems that are still social issues plaguing the world today.

    The description of the book mentions explicit sex, tho it’s not as explicit as many books without the warning. The warning that should be given is that there is a very explicit and well-written description of a man beating on a woman. The scenes following made me cry, and knowing that there’s going to be an HEA, I never cry. For people with an intimate knowledge of abuse, this would be a difficult book. Of course, it’s because it is a well-written, well-crafted story.

    What a fantastic book on so many levels. It touched on the serious problem of abuse in a historical setting. The main characters were people you would be proud too know.

    Found the story and dialogue to be stilted and the whole storyline felt staged.

  • Very touching

    For a survivor of domestic violence this book created some tough moments. It’s well written and the characters have a real depth to them. I cried, I laughed and did some healing. Thank God love conquered it all. R. K. Carulli
