About this ebook

--A LIBRARY JOURNAL BEST ROMANCE of 2020--


"A kindhearted love story that will delight anyone who longs to be loved without limits. Highly recommended." -Library Journal, STARRED review


"Historical romance fans won't want to miss this." -Publishers Weekly, STARRED review


A Secret Burden...


After a mysterious sojourn in Paris, Beryl Burnham has returned home to the village of Shepton Worthy ready to resume the life she left behind. Betrothed to the wealthy Sir Henry Rivenhall, she has no reason to be unhappy--or so people keep reminding her. But Beryl's life isn't as perfect as everyone believes.


A Longstanding Love...


As village curate, Mark Rivenhall is known for his compassionate understanding. When his older brother's intended needs a shoulder to lean on, Mark's more than willing to provide one. There's no danger of losing his heart. He already lost that to Beryl a long time ago.


During an idyllic Victorian summer, friends and family gather in anticipation of Beryl and Sir Henry's wedding. But in her darkest moment, it's Mark who comes to Beryl's aid. Can he help her without revealing his feelings--or betraying his brother?

A lovely, well done story. Reading excerpts of the start of the story I at first was leery of reading this upon its release. I feared it might be too dark for me. Well, that was not the case. While the background of melancholy (and the threat of institutionalization existing at the time) certainly prevented this from being a light-hearted read, it is a thoughtful story wherein soulmates do indeed overcome the odds to reach a happy end.
