BOOK DESCRIPTION:
Manchester, 1840
Mary Isabella “Ellie” Angela Wilson Dillard, daughter of an abdicated Earl, lives a remarkably ordinary life as a seamstress in a dress shop. That is until the day a workers’ protest in the streets of Manchester sees her joining forces—and lips!—with a handsome and mysterious stranger she knows only as “Cal.” Ellie is soon drawn into his world and it isn’t long before she finds herself falling for this wicked stranger with a secret.
Cal has three desires: to reform the mills of Manchester after the death of a friend, to keep his efforts secret from his opposing wealthy peers, and to win the heart of the compassionate woman who agrees to help him, no questions asked. But the mills are not the only thing in need of reform. As the stakes grow higher, Cal struggles to overcome his past and the secret that may put Ellie out of his reach forever…
Her
eyelids fluttered, just enough to realize how close kissing actually
brought two people together. This was the closest she had ever been
to another person in her entire life. It was exhilarating and
frightening and somehow pure. She moved her gaze upward just in time
to see his eyes open too, and she thought she felt him fall into her.
This
was the moment. The one in her dreams. The one she’d thought about
since she was a young girl. Or so she let herself believe for just
one pleasurable second before his eyes darted away yet again, and she
resigned herself to the truth. As pleasing as this moment was—and
Lord, was it pleasing—it was not exactly right. And something was
missing.
Him.
His complete attention. His complete devotion. His love.
And
his name.
“Who
are you?” Ellie asked as she pushed away.
His
eyes shot behind her again and then back to look at her. “Well,
bloody hell… It didn't work…”
“It didn't?”
“Do
you like your life?” he asked with real concern in his voice.
“What?”
“Your
life. Your day to day existence. Whatever that may be. How you do
things. How you live. Your family.”
“Well,
yes… I—of course I do, but…”
“Then
I’m sorry about this, I’m very sorry, but I’m going to need to
ask you to do something.”
“What?”
“Run.”
