The Slide Into Ruin by Bronwyn Stuart

Story starts out with Darius and he's arrived back home. Others think he died on the ship, in the water or another way but he survived to prove to his father he could make something of himself. He approaches the house and stumbles onto a woman who's on the snowy ground. She was trying to get the children a tree for the holiday. Her father is nowhere to be found and he hopes to get paid for taking over the debt. So desolate and no food Eliza starves herself so the children can stay nourished.

He soon learns the truth and comes up with a scheme so he can be the hero. She conspires with him so she won't have to wed the guardian her father had picked out for them. So many mysteries and scenes that are torturous to read about. When the guardian finally comes she has to leave with him because of the mistrust she has for Dariou. Eliza leaves but is banished away.  Darius learns of the fires on the docks and you wonder with all the gunpowder if he will ever find her, in time or dead already....

They shared many nights in love with one another and hot adult scenes. Love that she took care of all her siblings through it all while those her father owed money to are at their door.  Great read.

Excerpt for the next story is also included at the end.

Received this review copy from the publisher and this is my honest opinion.
