Deborah would gladly spend her life saving others. It could be though that the one she wants to save the most is one that is beyond her reach.Through the war, Deborah found her purpose. With the abbey she was raised in opened up to the wounded, she found no shortage of need for her calming smile, quick mind, and skill at tending to the sick and injured.She couldn’t imagine that with the war … imagine that with the war winding down, her life wouldn’t just continue in the abbey as she gets ready to take her vows and become a nun.
Before this happens though, someone from the wealthy Duke of Harksbury’s estate calls for someone from the abbey to tend to him. Having returned from the war himself in need of healing, Lord Edward Abernathy needs help, but Deborah will soon find out that his wounds go much deeper than the physical harm he endured.
Deborah just might be the only one who can heal him body and soul, but even she might not be enough.

I have thoroughly enjoyed every book I’ve read by Rose Pearson, and this was no exception. Deborah was orphaned as a baby, and raised by the nuns in a convent in London. As she grows and works with the nuns, she feels it her life’s joy to take her orders and live her life in service to God and her fellow beings. Her Mother Superior seems to believe God may have another path for her, and asks her to go to the home of the Duke of Abernathy at the plea of the Duke’s sister, to nurse him to health, and bring some light back into his life after he is seriously injured in the war on Napoleon.
I won’t give away any of the story, just that she has her work cut out for her, as they say, and that I became very emotionally involved with the characters.
If you like a good regency romance with a fair share of angst and personal growth, then you will love this book!
