For the Love of a Broken Marquess by Fanny Finch

They loved each other before they really even knew what love is…but now everything has changed…

Gabriella Lovitt may have been an orphan from a young age, but she found a new family in the Churchill home. The Duke of Devonshire opened his arms to her and raised her as her own, but the person that helped Gabriella overcome the loss of her parents most was the Duke’s son, Owen.
Years later, Owen Churchill returns from the war traumatized and unsure if he can lead a normal life again. His dark thoughts seem impenetrable, the only ray of light to lead him out of the gloom brings his best friend, Gabriella, who has grown into a lovely lady over the years…

The affection they both had for each other starts morphing into something stronger, but will they find the courage to confront their feelings and escape the course their lives are on before responsibility and duty take over?
