Lady Augustine Jane Ascott longs for a man who will do more than offer on her hand in marriage.  She wants a husband she can trust, someone who will shield her from the darkness of the world.  Her heart was broken when her younger brother was kidnapped years earlier, and she still carries the pain of his loss. 

​

When the handsome Duke of Wentworth makes his feelings for her known, Augustine's past demons warn her away.  Besides, every woman in London knows he's devoted to the memory of his late wife.  But is it possible he cares for her after all -- and that their love can bring them the peace they both crave?

 

PLEASE NOTE:

Bonus Chapters from FOREVER MINE that were not included in this Prequel Novella are available for free download.  Click ​HERE​ ​to download them. The publisher removed the first two chapters from FOREVER MINE, despite my insisting upon their importance to the series and the novella. These first two chapters are critical in understanding Nathaniel's story whom the entire series is based on.
