Will vengeance sooth his soul while letting go of his only love ...
A wonderful tale with a dash of The Count of Monte-Cristo about a man on his way for his revenge under a new identity and persona while facing a woman from his past.

Nicholas was cheated and betrayed because he loved a woman an other coveted.
From this sole crime, he would have been hanged. Why he HS to run away, leaving behind the only person who loved him and ever loved.
Upon his return, he never expected to cross path again with her. She had been his past, but can’t be his future.
Thus he thought.
But Nicolas is not dead, he is just deeply buried, until the light of his dream comes crashing in his life again. Slowly she unravels the man he was prior to his flight.
Up to him to determine what is worth, revenge or love, to weight the cost and price of each.
My heart was breaking for Margaret, she had been robbed of nearly everything her soulmate, her land, her health still she hold on a promise she had been made a decade ago, her glimmer in the darken surrounding her and slowly closing in on herself.
But this light is flickering, ten years has now passed, and she has very time left before she must forfeit her freedom.
I just loved her, she is feisty and spirited, what she lacks in endurance, she makes in temper. She never gives up and goes for what she knows is right.
It is what I love the most with Mrs Matthews, she brings to life awesome heroines, not perfect but going for what they believe in, always refusing to cower.
Margaret’s friend, Jane, while only secondary in the plot, is also another example of the strong women the author paints, she is bold, blunt, exuberant and one to support instead of mothering.

In a note, the author explains she get inspired for this story by two tales, yet don’t ask me why but the scene when St Clare acknowledge his identity, I saw Tootsie. Without the dress of course. But the drama of taking ownership of his true self. It was as sensational, especially with the epic brawl following it.
Each new tale by Mrs Matthews is a new precious stone in the grand jewel she is drawing with her pen and ink.

Her Best Yet! ♥️
5 perfect ⭐️You know the sad feeling you get when your favorite author gives you her latest book and you finish it?? And you’re wondering how you can possibly read anything else?? That’s mmmeeee! How can anything compare??It was wonderful. Her best work yet! But who am I kidding, all of her books are excellent! Matthews has done it again! *Sigh* I. Loved. It. A passionate, heartfelt, historical romance with all the things I love.... friendship, chemistry, angst, long glances and passionate kisses.A romantic connection that cannot be explained, only felt!Reading Matthews books are always a pleasure. The characters were well-developed and I can’t express enough how much I love the writing. If you’re like me, you will love it from beginning to end.Quote from the book:“His concerned gaze moved over her face. Every curve and contour was as precious to him as his own life.” 💗This book lived up to the hype. It also had a exhilarating scene (brawl) that reminded me of the movie, The Quiet Man, starring John Wayne. Anybody else see this oldie? I can’t say enough how special this was. I wish so badly it could be made into a movie. I highly recommend this book. Ok, I’m done I think. I’m a happy girl. Thank you Mimi Matthews for blessing me with this precious book. Thank you for all of them.Please don’t pass up this special gem, romance reader. I purchased my copy months ago. Happy Reading.“There is neither happiness nor misery in the world; there is only the comparison of one state with another, nothing more. He who has felt the deepest grief is best able to experience supreme happiness.”-Edmond Dantès, Count of Monte Cristo.

A exciting blend of mystery, revenge, intrigue and an emotional second-chance love story.
