Summary

To Protect

On a desperate journey to America, Rebecca Neville promises the dying wife of the Earl of Stanmore to raise and care for her newborn son, James. Once in the New World, Rebecca begins her new life - as a mother....

To Cherish

Ten years later, the Earl of Stanmore learns of the fate of his family. He sends to the colonies for his young heir so he can raise him as a peer of the realm. With no intention of forsaking her vow, Rebecca returns to England with James to face a future without her beloved charge. But she must also face her tumultuous past....

To Love

At first glance, the formidable Stanmore sends Rebecca reeling. But beneath his coldly attractive façade and seeming indifference to his son's plight, emotions roil. For there is more to Stanmore and his motives than meets the eye. The enigmatic lord has his own promise to keep - and a passion for Rebecca that cannot be denied....

Contains mature themes.

Good story - dreadful narrator.

I enjoyed the story and stuck with it despite the stilted narration with accent placed on the wrong words.

The author also needed a dictionary and a thesaurus. In Regency days one's 'major domo' or 'steward' was a 'butler'. The 'bailiff' was an officer of the court and not the 'steward' or 'game keeper'. In England 'fall' is in fact 'autumn'. A number of words (adverbs and adjectives) were used incorrectly. This is all a pity as the story deserved much better treatment.

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
