Sam is a former prizefighter turned publican facing grief from his past and dealing with a racist cop (and society). Hart is a gentleman of means living under a shadow of cruel gossip about he came into the money. 

This is book 2 in a series centered on brothers and the impact of their childhoods (Hart’s especially) on their lives and loves. 

This is a tough book to read. It addresses child sex abuse, racism, parental abandonment, child birth, corrupt police, etc. 

It’s also a story about family, birth and found, what being in an equal partnership means, and love.

Sebastian handles the subject of sexual abuse and trauma much more deftly than I ever expected a romance novelist to. Kudos!

Another delightful offering in the Seducing the Sedgwicks series. Humour and warmth juxtaposed with pathos. Really enjoying this author, and the always wonderful Joel Leslie.
