Will Connor get his HEA with Theodora?
I enjoyed the characters in this novel. Theodora was a strong woman, having run her family's household due to her mother's illnesses. Connor is the perfect man to give her the independence she craves. I loved the way Connor kept attempting to stall the trip to Gretna Green. This was a great read.
