ONE DETERMINED LADY. . . Many women pursued Colin Warren, but only one climbed in his bedchamber window. When Bridget does it for the second time, she needs his help. Colin is unfit to be a parent, and yet he has no choice but to acknowledge the little girl.
RISKING EVERYTHING FOR LOVE Together they must solve the mystery of the old flame’s intentions—but can they reconcile their divided loyalties—Irish and English—through the power of love? AMAZON
The storyline is what drew my attention. It was different and unique. Bridget was definitely a woman who didn't fit in with the times. She was a lady but some, thought she behaved like a fallen woman. She knew what she wanted and went after it. This got her into a whole bunch of trouble when she turned up pregnant from one wild night with Colin. Of course she managed to cover everything perfectly by having her baby elsewhere before returning home. Yes, everything was going smoothly until her distant cousin Martin Fallow shows up claiming her child as his. What is he up to? Bridget wasn't in love with him and wouldn't marry him, so he started by threatening her careful put together life. She sees through his insincere claims of passion for her but she also sees that his lies are winning over the people around her. How in the world was she going to defeat him? Colin, was one hot mess. He was bored with life in general and life didn't feel much different from day to day. When Bridget goes to talk to him, he doesn't want to talk to her because he thought she was just a schemer. What a clod... He jerks around until he HAS to talk to her. As time goes on we do see that he does have some redeeming qualities. There are reasons that Colin feels unqualified to be a parent and they are some pretty good ones. Sylvie, was Colin and Bridget's daughter and she was one strong willed child. She also brought drama to the story. There are twists, turns, chases and arguments as well as some loving.
