The Mrs MacKinnons by Jayne Davis

A heartwarming historical romance set in England, 1799, with realistic and relatable characters and setting.

Major Matthew Southam returns from India, hoping to put the trauma of war behind him and forget his past. Instead, he finds a derelict estate and a family who wish he'd died abroad.
Charlotte MacKinnon married without love to avoid her father's unpleasant choice of husband. Now a widow with a young son, she lives in a small Cotswold village with only the money she earns by her writing.
Matthew is haunted by his past, and Charlotte is fearful of her father's renewed meddling in her future. After a disastrous first meeting, can they help each other find happiness?

Amazon review exerpts:

A lovely and unique story of patience and love with characters overcoming obstacles so true love trumps adversity.

Jayne Davis's strong sense of character, both main and secondary, and her deep familiarity with the ways of England in the days of Napoleon are evident throughout. The Mrs MacKinnons is a satisfying romance with a much wider perspective than your average period piece.
