When Elf's husband returns, she is ransomed and returned to her husband and child.
Bertrice Small, the author of The Innocent, has again written a book to capture your heart. It is always amazing how much living Small can have her characters experience in such a short amount of time.
If you enjoy books that not only produce great romance, but also a lot of adventure and experience you will be enthralled by Small's writing.
