Reclaiming the Spy - by Lorri Dudley (Paperback)

Book Synopsis

How can he protect her from himself when she keeps winding up in his arms?

She never gave up hope. After ten years of prayers for her husband, presumed dead in the Peninsula Wars, Abigail Emerson is shocked to discover him alive. Yet what should be the happily ever after of fairy tales becomes a nightmare when he coldly instructs her to forget she'd ever seen him. Abigail refuses to let her beloved slip through her fingers again, and she's willing to battle for his love, despite the walls he's created to barricade his heart.

Nicholas Emerson's time as a spy for the War Office has left physical and mental battle wounds. He can never be the charming, carefree man he once was-the man his wife deserves-but when a threat to Abby's life returns him to their small Midland village, keeping her safe proves more challenging than expected. If only Abby would forget him and remarry, then he wouldn't have to face the torment of all the tender, buried feelings she evokes. The consequence of his life as a spy means he can never have her again...
