Charles served his country in the first world war only to come home a broken man. Determined to leave his suffering behind, he decides to make his 30th birthday his last. But first he must lose his virginity. A man of wealth and respectability, Charles asks his manservant and friend to find him a prostitute for his birthday.
Agnes is young and had left selling herself behind her but life as a maid in a mean woman's home had driven her to her limits. While her education was limited, she had big dreams of owning her own hat shop. The only thing holding her back beside money was the scars left on her face from the last man who had paid for her services. While others tells her she can never do retail because of her pretty but scarred looks. Agnes holds on to her dream as only a stubborn girl can. Agnes leaves her awful employer and decides to go back to selling herself but the Madame won't take her back. Approached by Charles' manservant with an offer of more money than she can turn down, Agnes goes to Charles' estate.
Agnes falls for kind, innocent Charles and finds love for the first time. Will her love be enough to stop him from killing himself after his birthday?
This author writes in a way that draws you in, leaving you cheering for the characters. Historically accurate, The Strange Heart lets you see the past as it was not with rose colored glasses. I loved this book and even though it is the third book in the series, it could well be read as a stand alone and still understand the storyline. As with the first two of the series, this book is in my Keep kindle folder. I will read it over and over again.
