Viscountess Felicity Barbridge escaped a violent marriage with her life because she was willing to make desperate choices. Now those choices are back to haunt her, as is the object of her girlhood obsession, Asher Seyton.
Asher was never anything more than a servant’s son, but he’s elevated himself through an education and is now a respected solicitor. He only returns to his childhood home to help with a financial issue, but when he realizes Felicity is being threatened, he’s driven to stay and help. Even if he must now face all the feelings for her he tried to repress over the years.
Will Felicity be able to trust Asher enough to share more than passion? And will Asher’s own secrets unravel all they’ve built?

Adored in Autumn, Book 4 in the Seasons series, was about the widowed Viscountess Felicity Barbridge (sister to both Lord Lucien Danford, the Earl of Stenfax, and Mr. Grayson Danford), and Mr. Asher Seyton, their childhood friend and son to their late father's valet, who had become a respected solicitor. Having survived two hellish years married to Erasmus, the Viscount Barbridge, his death freed her from further abuse. However, she was now in danger of someone threatening to reveal certain secrets that, until recently, not even her brothers knew about. When Lucien sent for Asher to assist in unraveling secrets held by Elise's late husband, it brought Asher and Felicity together for the first time in six years. Both were wary of meeting again, but both knew of the necessity of bringing the danger to an end. The story was well written, the characters were better developed...or maybe more fully developed...than in the previous books. Perhaps that's because, since this book was a completion of all the books combined, the author was finally able to completely flesh out each character to their fullest potential. The drama and the angst were in high gear from start to finish, but there was just enough humor to ease the tension a bit. The chemistry and attraction between Asher and Felicity were apparent from the moment they met again and didn't let up until the end of the book. There were times that the book became frustrating...such as when Felicity's character called her late husband an EARL when, in fact, he had been a Viscount. Shouldn't author's be able to keep up with their own characters' titles? Also, there was a tremendous amount of redundancy throughout the story, "FREE" to speak FREELY", etc. It got a bit annoying after a while. As this book was the culmination of all the previous books, it was an excellent ending to the series. It still only earned less than a five-star rating and, like the other three, it won't be added to the Keeper for the Shelves collection. But at least it was not another cliffhanger.
