Goodreads Synopsis
Hunter Melbourne thought when he came home from the war, he would finally be safe. But the opposite was true.
When Hunter Melbourne, heir apparent to the Duke of Willowbrook is shot on his way home from the war in Crimea, Hunter realizes someone wants him dead. Probably the same man who killed his brother. If only he can discover who is behind the attempts on his life before they kill everyone he cares for, including the woman he loves.

Review
I received an Advance Reader Copy from the publisher via NetGalley. This in no way impacted on my view.
Discovering a handsome stranger with a gunshot injury in a nearby cottage, Lady Victoria Crawley can't let him struggle alone, and nurses him back to health. When it's revealed he is Hunter Melbourne, heir apparent to the Duke of Willowbrook, and the danger may not be over yet, Torie starts to fall for her patient. But Hunter can't forget that someone clearly wants him dead, and he wants to stop them, before they target those he loves.
I didn't know what to expect going into this book, but I loved all of the characters (apart from the villains, who got what they deserved). Torie was a fabulous main character, who was living with her widowed grandmother in the upcoming town of Willowbrook. In her spare time, she would spend time with the ageing Duke of Willowbrook, who is anxious for his grandson to return from war. Torie is all about helping people, which is part of the reason she's in Willowbrook to begin with, and when she came upon Hunter, she needed to help him. Hunter was really sweet with Torie, and he fell hard and fast. He wouldn't let anyone hurt her, and when she was injured, he went into protective mode quickly! I'm glad we saw how so many of the characters started to recover after events from their pasts, and I can't wait to learn more about Ethan in A Page Turner Bookshop. A lovely start to the series.
