| Gaetan Leflur had come to England to find a wife in answer to a friend’s deathbed request. He resented the way they treated him due to his mixed heritage of half French and half Arapaho. He was tired of the questions about half naked savages running around wild and scalping people. He knew he would be able to find a wife because even with his background someone would want to marry him for his money. He just did not know how the frail English debutantes he had seen so far would fair in the wilds of America. He was surprised when a young woman approached him and asked if he would consider her as a bride. Lady Moyra Dunford was desperate. If Gaetan Leflur did not want her she was considering drowning herself in the Thames River. Life was unbearable and things were getting worse. She knew she was plain but she was wealthy and she would do anything and be anything he required, if he would just take her away. After listening to her reasons Gaetan decides that Moyra would suit his needs although not what he typically looks for in a woman. Thus began the adventure of Gaetan and Moyra and it only gets better.
Every Time You Go Away is an emotionally stirring story of two vulnerable people from different worlds coming together to find love. It tells the difficulty of these two learning to recognize love and trusting it enough to let it grow. Eve Asbury has created a richly woven story with characters that touch the heart. Gaetan does not trust love because he has never been loved. His background is painful, bringing tears to the reader’s eyes as he faces his past and lays it to rest. Moyra has known happiness only to have it ripped away and left with pain an abuse. She wants nothing more at the beginning but her freedom. As she spends time with Gaetan she craves his love. The chemistry is there between them and at times frustrating as they each fear rejection. When passion is set free it is explosive. Extremely sensual they lose themselves in each other. Exciting scenes are described through the words of the author making the setting easily visualized. Amazing things happen as Moyra experiences the American West. This is a fascinating story that is sure to touch the hearts of the readers. Organized, smooth flowing words are created by Eve Asbury to share a tale of colorful characters and their journey to love. Romance, action, and adventure all are to be found in this wonderful story. I highly recommend Every Time You Go Away, to all readers.
