Opera star Maggie Lee escapes her opulent lifestyle when threatened by a powerful politician who aims to ruin her life. She runs off to the wilds of the moors to live in anonymity. All that changes the day she discovers a half-dead man near her house. Escaped convict Oliver Ward is on the run to prove his innocence, until he gets hurt and is taken in by Maggie. He discovers some jewels in her possession—the very same jewels that got him convicted. Together they hatch a plan to return the jewels, clearing Oliver’s name and hopefully maintaining Maggie’s anonymity.

My Review
I had a hard time getting into this story. It didn’t capture my attention like i hoped. It had a definite gothic romance feel to the story. I liked how I could visual the scenes clearly. I really liked the character development in this story. I felt like I really got to know Maggie and Oliver as the story went along. Their relationship was fun to watch. I definitely liked some characters more then then others. There were a couple people I definitely did not like at all.
Even though it wasn’t my favorite, I recommend you give this book a chance.
I voluntarily reviewed a complimentary copy of this book which I received from the publisher. All views expressed are only my honest opinion.
