Love's tragedy!

Lady Charlotte's First Love  (The Sutherland Sisters #2) 
by Anna Bradley


                           

A Shakespearean tragedy if ever there was one. Enmeshed in the emotional harrowing web that pulls at Julian West and Lady Charlotte Hadley I found it hard to put this down.
West returns from the war a broken man, followed by nightmares, and yet feted as a hero--a sobriquet he detests and knows in his inner being is a lie.
Charlotte is a widow with devastating memories of her relationship with West, the blame she carries for her husband's death, and the betrayal she feels West dealt her.
Charged by his cousin Cam who is Charlotte's brother-in-law, to to bring Charlotte home to her family, the last thing West wants to do is face down the troublesome, brittle marchioness. A woman who is constantly outraging the ton, cutting a swathe through high society with her equally outrageous friends, and who is a step away from being rejected by this august group. A woman who has always been the light of West's life no matter how he tries to deny it.
When I previously said I could hardly wait for Charlotte's story I didn't realize the depth of pain that would be forthcoming.
Two broken people condemning themselves to unsatisfactory lives through misunderstanding and on West's part, misplaced duty.
