The Moonstone Major - Meara Platt

nHis scars ran deep. Only Chloe had the power to heal him.n n nn nIt is said moonstones shine brightest in the presence of true love. Will they shine for Chloe, the youngest of the Killigrew sisters, and Fionn, the battle-scarred hero who has closed himself off to love?n n nn nLady Chloe Killigrew is surprised to find herself much sought after in Moonstone Landing's elegant society.

The charming seaside village has become a favorite holiday retreat for the London elite and there is no shortage of dukes, earls, or landed gentry lining up to court her. The only man who seems to be paying her no attention is the gruff and irresistibly handsome Major Fionn Brennan who is in charge of the local army fort, an ancient fortress dominating the Cornwall coast. Chloe has been secretly in love with him since they first met.

How can she break through the walls surrounding his heart, for he is the only man she will marry?n n nn nAlthough Major Fionn Brennan worked his way up the military ranks, no amount of cultured upbringing will make him worthy of Lady Chloe. His heart aches to have her, yet how can he dare hope for a match when he was raised as a nameless orphan left to fend for himself on the roughest London streets? If not for the viscount who chose to bring him home instead of having him tossed as a boy into prison, he would probably be dead.

Now that he has been put in command of Moonstone Landing's army fort, he is bound to see Chloe every day.n n nn nHe has tried everything to keep from falling in love with her, but how long can he keep up the pretense? As secrets unfold, and everything he thought of the viscount who saved him turns out to be lies, can he find hope in opening his heart to Chloe? Or will they both be burned in the fires of an impossible passion?n n nn nEnjoy the entire series: n nThe Moonstone Duken nThe Moonstone Marquessn nThe Moonstone Majorn nMoonstone Landing (novella)n nMoonstone Angel (novella)n
