The Captive by Grace Burrowes

4.0

Another great series from Grace Burrowes. Christian, Duke of Mercia, was held captive by the French and tortured. When the war ended and he finally came home to find his wife and son dead he’s lost and doesn’t know his next steps. Widowed Gilly is not sure of her next steps either, but she knows that she needs Christian to come home to help his young daughter. With vengeance in his heart Christian understands that being with his daughter is the right place to be but he will not stop his quest to find those that captured him. As Gilly slowly opens up about her marriage and Christian heals from his ordeal, they find a common bond and being a romance. But since they both know the depths of despair, will they be willing to open their hearts to love? A really great start to a new series and I’m excited to keep reading!
