Description

The Promise USA TODAY BESTSELLING AUTHOR "McGoldrick's gift for characterization extends from the book's courageous heroine and wounded hero down to a fascinating cast of secondary characters, including a viperous villain and a wonderfully scheming mistress. This vibrant Georgian historical is perfect for readers who like a nice mix of history and passion." – Booklist Review (American Library Association) 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...

    I’ve just finished and had to write this review. Once I started reading this book, I could not put it down, and when I had to as soon as I could I was back to reading it. It’s a compelling story with characters so real that you become invested in their lives. Rebecca is such a strong person even though she believes she is not and she raises Elisabeths son to be a strong honest young man. I will definitely be looking for and reading more of May McGoldrick ‘s books. This ones a keeper!

    Another beautiful story from May McGoldrick. Emotional, thought provoking, multi faceted, intriguing, satisfying...how does one adequately describe a McGoldrick book? This isn’t just a love story between Rebecca and Stanmore. It’s a story about all of the different relationships we have in our lives and of all the ways that we love. Jim and Nikoo have a wonderful way of bringing all the threads together and creating stories that are captivating, engaging, humorous, and satisfying.
