From the legendary New York Times bestselling author of Only a Kiss and Only a Promise comes the final book in the rapturous Survivors' Club series—as the future of one man lies within the heart of a lost but never-forgotten love ...
For the first time since the death of his wife, the Duke of Stanbrook is considering remarrying and finally embracing happiness for himself. With that thought comes the treasured image of a woman he met briefly a year ago and never saw again.
Dora Debbins relinquished all hope to marry when a family scandal left her in charge of her younger sister. Earning a modest living as a music teacher, she's left with only an unfulfilled dream. Then one afternoon, an unexpected visitor makes it come true.
For both George and Dora that brief first encounter was as fleeting as it was unforgettable. Now is the time for a second chance. And while even true love comes with a risk, who are two dreamers to argue with destiny?

      The seventh book in Balogh's popular series focuses on George Crabbe, Duke of Stanbrook, founder of the Survivors' Club, and his search for happiness. Rosalyn Landor narrates this quiet but deeply felt love story with a sure touch, focusing on the emotional nuances. George has seen all of his fellow Survivors married off, and to his surprise, realizes that he also desires companionship. To that end, he proposes marriage to Dora Debbins, a spinster music teacher he met exactly once before. After a brief courtship, they marry and embark on a relationship that proves to be fulfilling for both of them. While they encounter occasional difficulties, Landor emphasizes the positive aspects of their life together. A suitable conclusion to the series. K.M.P. © AudioFile 2016, Portland, Maine

      Balogh’s warmhearted final Survivors’ Club Regency (after Only a Kiss) finally turns to the compassionate Duke of Stanbrook, who brought six wounded strangers—five men and one woman—into his Cornwall home after their service in the Napoleonic wars and assisted in their physical and mental recovery. Now these close friends have all married happily, and the duke, who lost his son in the wars and his wife soon after, finally admits he is lonely. Even at 48, he would be considered a very desirable match, but he turns to unassuming 39-year-old spinster Dora Debbins, sister-in-law of Lord Ponsonby (familiar from Only Enchanting), instead of looking for a higher-status woman to be his wife. Dora has not dared to admit her yearning for the handsome duke she met when her sister married into the Survivors’ Club. She is stunned when the duke turns up in her modest cottage and proposes, but accepting his proposal brings heartache, because even the kind gentleman hides dark secrets that threaten their happy life together. Balogh deftly reveals Dora’s growth into an elegant duchess who earns the love of a sensitive man. This is a satisfying conclusion to an intense and popular historical series.
