The Rescue

 











The Rescue, by Lori Wick, again takes place in Collingbourne, England.  You will see old characters, as well as meet some new, in this second tale of her English Garden series!


Robert Weston has inherited a property in town and is checking out the area when Anne Gardiner suddenly lands in his arms.  In an attempt to placate her military father, who is not currently not in a right state of mind, Anne pretends to marry this man who has been caught off guard!


When Robert heads back to London to discuss this situation with his mother, he leaves Anne at his new home.  Robert is unaware that she will spend the next week cleaning his house in an attempt to make up for the “marriage” he was exposed to!


After gossip about this “marriage” starts circulating throughout Collingbourne, Robert decides to ask Anne to marry him in an effort to protect her.  It is interesting to see what actually comes of this hasty marriage!
