Promised
About This Book
Margaret Brinton keeps her promises, and the one she is most set on keeping is her vow to protect her heart. The story is set in Warwickshire, England, in 1812. Having been fooled by love once before, Margaret refuses to be made a fool again. She attends a notorious matchmaking party hoping to arrange a marriage of convenience with a man who could never touch her heart. In the handsome, obliging rake Mr. Northam, she finds a man who exceeds her hopes. The trouble is his cousin, Lord Williams, who will not leave her alone. He is condescending and high-handed, and he lectures and insults her. When she ignores his advice, he single-handedly ruins her chances of a good match, with his cousin or anyone else. With no reason to stay, Margaret goes home and learns that her father has promised her hand in marriage to Lord Williams. Margaret will not consent to marry such an odious man. But Lord Williams keeps inserting himself into her daily life, interrupting family games and joining her morning walks. He wins over her siblings and proves himself intelligent and even kind. Margaret begins to see that he is exactly the sort of man she hoped to marry before she learned how much love can hurt. When their paths diverge, she must choose between keeping the promises that protect her and breaking free of them for one more chance at love, fearing that either way her heart will lose.
