The story: basically the hero in his youth chose the wrong person to marry.

The heroine (younger than the hero) ran off to her father, who was in the

military, where she did many acts of great kindness, e.g., digging out musket

balls from soldiers that the surgeons ignored after triaging then into the

category of likely not surviving. The story starts six-years later when the

heroine returns to her father's estate. The heroine's father is dead and she is

independently wealthy. The hero owns the neighboring estate. After many

twists and turns everything turns out well for the hero and heroine.

There are a number of likeable characters besides the hero and heroine, e.g.,

there is a nice romance in the background between the heroines friend and the

owner of another neighboring estate.

The heroine is quite solid and human. I like that the heroine has a spine and

does not melt into a quivering defenseless puddle when the hero touches her

hand (as happens in too many romances). Altogether this is a very pleasant

four-and-a-half star read.
