When Elliot McBride escaped from his prison, he was in bad shape. The only thing that had kept him alive was thoughts of his true-love, Juliana St. John. After some time to recover, Elliot makes his way to London to stop Juliana's wedding. But he doesn't have to lift a finger when he finds that the groom has eloped with another woman, leaving Juliana at the altar. A crying Juliana sees Elliot and promptly proposes. Elliot quickly accepts and they marry that day. Now it's time for them to start a new life....

I liked the first couple chapters of this story, but it quickly fell flat. Elliot suffers from PTSD after being wrongly imprisoned and tortured for over a year. Juliana knows very little of what he went through, but sees the results in his nightmares and blackout episodes. When Elliot is accused of a murder and he confesses he remembers nothing of that time, Juliana stands by her man against his accusers. I usually like a good tortured hero, but I really could not get into this story at all. My rating: 3 Stars.
