But when gentleman Will Barclay comes to her aid, their intense connection tempts her into a thrillingly passionate temporary affair!

Ratings and reviews

Thrown together protecting a young woman from a forced marriage., Will and Psyche embark on a passionate affair. When her uncle tries to sell Psyche back into slavery, can Will help protect her? This is a dramatic, sometimes dark story of the trials faced by free Blacks in England during the Regency. Formerly enslaved, Psyche has no desire to enter into marriage, where she would legally become a man's property again. Will respects and understands her position, and works to prove that he's trustworthy. This intensely emotional journey is ultimately uplifting with a hard-won happy ending. Even though this is not an ownvoices story, I (as a white woman) felt that the author handled the subject matter sensitively. Thanks, NetGalley, for the ARC I received. This is my honest and voluntary review.
