Trust is a cornerstone of love... but what happens when your trust is tested by those on the outside?
Gregory Richards hasn’t had the best of luck with finding a bride. The last woman he wrote to turned out not to be a woman at all, but a man intent on defrauding him – and as a jeweler and watchmaker, he has plenty to lose. His father persuades him that love is still out there for him, though, and he’s persuaded to place an ad for a bride. When Vivianne replies, he’s immediately impressed and replies quickly.Vivianne Rochester is struggling with the debt she and her brother Alistair have been left by their father, and when she takes a position as a companion to Mrs. Holroyd, an eccentric elderly lady who loves to travel, her world opens up. Meeting Gregory in person is a very real possibility.
But her brother’s path is less enlightened, and when he gives her a beautiful necklace as a parting gift, she can’t shake the thought that it could be stolen. For all the work she’s doing to free them from debt, it seems that his choices are making it harder and harder for her to move forward.
Nonetheless, Vivianne and Gregory’s relationship blossoms, and soon traveling between Chicago and Eagle Creek is a natural evolution. But Gregory has been stung badly… So when he sees a disturbingly familiar necklace around Vivianne’s neck at dinner one day, he sees a bright red flag…
Gregory and Vivianne have a story of trust to navigate… and Alistair has a lot to answer for. Will the answers come in time – and will Gregory be able to trust this new family he’s become entangled with? Is the love between him and Vivianne enough to carry them forward to a new life together?
The pair have a lot to untangle… and Vivianne has extra complexities with the dramatic developments in Mrs. Holroyd’s life. Could it be that she met the right man at the wrong time… or might they still be able to salvage a future together?
