A Heart for Milton: A Tale from North and South - Paperback

by Trudy Brasure (Author)

When Margaret Hale hastily rejected the wealthy industrialist's fervent marriage proposal, she could not have foreseen the events that would lead her to change her mind and open her heart. But was it too late now to let the handsome, brooding mill owner know?

Based on the novel North and South by Elizabeth Gaskell, this book begins with a twist to the goodbye scene and follows John and Margaret from the uncertainties of their engagement through the trials of their first year of marriage...and beyond.

Featuring slow-burn angst with one gently written, open-door honeymoon chapter.

Author Biography

Brasure's vision of Thornton is truly a spectacular one....The softer side of Thornton, falling in love with Margaret, as well as the beauty of southern England, made the story warming and romantic. It was also wonderful to see Margaret not only as a doting wife, but a woman that still stuck to her principles. Their developing relationship was a worthwhile journey to follow.... In all, Brasure's work is a great fit with the original, dovetailing nicely and giving readers of 'North and South' a great fairytale that they can enjoy for years to come. -- Austenprose "This book is a delightful continuation of Gaskell's story and I can't say enough good things about it. The author keeps to Gaskell's style of writing and stays true to the wonderful characters, while giving us more of the story we love. If you are looking for a romance to get lost in, this is the book for you." --- From the Quill Tip
