About this audiobook
Widow Theodosia Cecil needs a husband to help protect her son. The former flower seller turned estate owner posts an ad in the newspaper, and no one is more surprised than she when her first love, the man she thought dead, reappears.
Ewan Fitzwilliam has been at war for six years. Now, the second son of a powerful earl is back but his beloved Theo needs a husband and will not consider him. She believes Ewan left her—in desperate straits—so she denies the feelings she still harbors for the handsome, scarred soldier. Theo and playwright Ewan must overcome bitter lies and vengeful actions that ruined their youthful affair. Theo must reveal her deepest secret in order to reclaim the love that has long been denied.
Contains mature themes.

A thought-provoking romance book with complex characters. It follows a female protagonist forced by circumstances to exist in a racist society, and the man who loves her. - Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5

I loved the MC Theo. She had so much depth and was so well described. But I hated the main love interest. I'm still not 100% sure what made him redeemable and worth of Theo. Ugh.
Aside from that I also loved the supporting characters. I want to see a HEA for Theo's friends and even for Ewan's brother! Heck, even the butler.
