Book 3 in the exciting new Soldiers and Soulmates series has arrived. A soldier returning from war. A war widow who’s created a new life for herself. An attraction that brings them together . . .

Forced to marry a stranger after one chaste kiss, Lady Ashlyn Dunwood spends a single night with her new husband before his regiment ships off to war. She gives birth to a son and loses the boy four years later in a tragic accident, only to learn she’s also a war widow. Ashlyn invests her settlement and what’s left of her shattered heart in Dunwood Academy, a school for troubled boys. When a devastatingly handsome duke begs her to take on his wayward half-brothers as pupils, Ashlyn is up for the challenge—but finds herself fighting her attraction to the arrogant nobleman.

Colonel Reid Baker arrives home from the Peninsular War and finds himself the Duke of Gilford, assuming his new responsibilities and placing his rebellious half-brothers at a local academy. Knowing he’ll need an heir, he sets his sights on the headstrong, confident Lady Dunwood, who claims she’ll never wed again. Convincing the dowager countess to marry him becomes Reid’s mission, as he jumps every hurdle Ashlyn places in his way—and along that way, the cool-headed former army officer loses his heart to the intelligent beauty.

Will Reid break through the walls Ashlyn has erected around her and teach her to live—and love?

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐


Lady Ashlyn Dunwood was forced to marry her husband who then left for war the next day.  After the tragic death of her young son she also finds out she's now a war widow.  That just fires up her independent spirit and her love for children.  So she opens her own academy for boys.
Colonel Reid Baker returns home from ten years in the army to find himself now the Duke of Gilford.  His two younger half brothers are sullen and disrespectful.  There are many things that need to be done but he finds he is distracted.  
A wonderful story with lots of mischievous boys and a heroine who can control them all. Even our hero has to be shown how to behave.  There is one dangerous  person who tries to cause havoc.  
This book can be read on its own, but is part of a fabulous series.  
Each one is a great read read.  
I loved it.
