Hadrian was the delicious vicar we met in "The Soldier" who was a friend to Emmy. Perhaps always a bit too earthy for the vocation, Hadrian has returned home to Cumbria to take over the family estate when his older brother decamps to the continent. Here he is reunited with Avie, friend and neighbour from his youth, whom he had protected and cared for after a traumatic assault years before. An unhappy marriage and the demands of ministering to his "flock" have drained the compassionate Hadrian and left him bewildered by the unjust criticism directed by the community towards the lovely Avie. Desire flares for this deserving hero and his lady from the moment they meet again and we are treated to Ms Burrowes at her best as she serves up passion, friendship, hope and healing against a rural backdrop that teases the senses.
