It was a sample so I don't think I actually read all that it was. I probably have to purchase it, because the sample was just about him coming home and heroine helping him get to the house. It looks promising so I look forward to reading this novella and other books by Anna Campbell.

Edmund Sherritt, Major Lord Canforth, married his wife, Felicity eight years ago and two weeks later left to serve in several war campaigns. Now he’s returning to a woman he fell in love with but was unsure of her feelings for him. It’s been a long time and he doesn’t know if she’s even interested in continuing their relationship.
This is such a lovely story, the Christmas season being an ideal setting for Edmund and Felicity to reunite. Their first encounter upon his return was also fitting, with no one else around and both "unarmed" as it were as neither was prepared for the moment. I liked how we were given both points of view to see where each was coming from as they sometimes awkwardly reacquainted with each other, taking small and tentative steps forward. It felt natural, authentic and endeared them both to me. In a short time, I got fully invested in these two and rooted for their relationship.
Edmund and Felicity's story was the perfect start to the holiday season. There’s nothing forced about their love for one another and it was poignant that these two were separated so soon after their marriage and not given time to express their feelings to each other. As usual, Campbell gives us some sensuality with her romance, making this an all around gem of a story.

Major Edmund Sherritt is finally home after eight years fighting in the Napoleonic Wars. He comes home to his wife, Felicity or Flick, wounded and apprehensive; he and Flick were only together as a married couple for two weeks before he was sent away. While they both love each other (unbeknowst to the other), she was a shy and naive girl, and he was too worried about her fragility (in his eyes) to let her know how he felt. Now they must learn to live together, both changed greatly from their initial days together.
I loved this story. Edmund is a sensitive man deeply in love with his wife, and Flick has grown older and wiser in his absence, enough to finally assure him of her own devotion. It's lovely writing, as is all Ms. Campbell's work, and so sweet that I cried a little at the ending. I'm so glad I grabbed this novella as I can see it being read and reread at holiday time.

This was really cute, although there was no story and no suspense, really. However the whole little thing was consistent and well written.

Just super sweet! Both are so in love but sadly afraid to say it.
