The series is best read in order although each book does have its own featured hero/heroine and HEA. This is a slow-burn friends-to-lovers romance set in Victorian England and America in the Civil War with a spicy finale. If you're a fan of steamy historical romance and enjoy the friends-to-lovers pen pals trope then this book is for you.</em></p>
