The Captive Duke

By Grace Burrowes

Book Overview

"Grace Burrowes is terrific."--JULIA QUINN, New York Times bestselling author of the Bridgerton series

A breathtaking tale of a tortured hero and the woman who helps him to heal.

Captured and tortured by the French, Christian Severn, Duke of Mercia, lost his wife, his son, and his will to live. He struggles to find a way back to the world he once knew until Gillian, Countess of Windmere, pointedly reminds him that he has a daughter who still needs him.

As Christian and Gillian spend more and more time together trying to help Margaret, who was traumatized by her mother's death, their attraction slowly begins to grow.

Customer Reviews

A hard read...

The preface to this review is a warning that it's not so much a romance as it is a tale of redemption, but it's worthwhile. Christian was captured by the French and endured unspeakable torture, Gillian had an abusive husband and Christian's young daughter suffered a traumatic experience which keeps her from speaking. This is a journey for all these wounded souls to get better and enjoy life again and some of it is tough to take. However, the love that blooms tenderly for all involved is so affirming and I enjoyed the sweet love scenes; nothing sordid but again, done with care. It's not a keeper for me because it was all I could do to read it once but I'm glad I did.
