Death ought not to be a happy thing, but then, marriage ought not to be a prison.

Seven years ago, Lady Lydia Whiting married for the good of her parents, and widowhood was supposed to mark the beginning of her freedom. But when her husband spurns her from beyond the grave and cuts her from his will, her parents are determined to force her into another wretched marriage of convenience.

Fleeing is the only option.

Robert Bradshaw has a good, quiet life. Work and his daughter are all he needs, even if others think he ought to remarry. Why should he? His beloved wife was an angel among men, and no other could compare—especially a young widow who is more mouse than woman.

But with Lydia’s parents determined to get her back under their thumb, Robert may be her only salvation.

Such emotion!

A wonderful read filled with raw emotion. M.A. Nichols delves into thoughts and feelings with ease and clarity. I loved both of the main characters and enjoyed being a part of their journey. This is my second book by this author and I am looking forward to reading more.

Another Goody!

The author has pulled another great story out if the ether. The two main characters are in equal parts likeable and detestable.Robert, while stirred to help a woman in need, is gravely in need of a good slap as he dismisses Lydia’s deep-seated lack of confidence.Lydia, meanwhile, hides and can’t face up to the problems she has experienced.In the end, both break out from their false memories of the past, each recognising in the other those things missing in their respective lives.Mary and Lydia’s parent yet again reveal their vow that their daughters are cash cows, existing to rogued for their parents comfort. It’s a massive eye-opener for Robert.Superb story. Highly recommended

What A Beautiful Story

This one was the hard one for me to get through not because it wasn't good the fact was it was too good I felt so many different emotions

A Tender Soul indeed

Although this is a fictional story it has such an understanding of the uncertainties and frailties of human nature. As the story progressed I hoped the characters would come together but stubbiness and fear of opening oneself to another can ruin many friendships.Thank you for a lovely story I couldn’t stop reading even though my eyes were sore xx

Deep insights and a positive message

This story offers hope and positive insights into the healing of past traumas that patient loving and trusting another can achieve. Well written and an absorbing read, highly recommended.
