"When Lorabeth first arrived in Virginia, unannounced, unescorted and with little but the clothing on her back, she only wanted to escape an arranged marriage back in England. Instead, she found a handsome stranger whose deep blue eyes held hers in an entrancing stare that set her heart racing. Lorabeth learned too late that this captivating man was her cousin Cameron Montrose. Despite her efforts to put thoughts of Cameron out of her mind, he refused to be forgotten. He vowed to find a way for their forbidden love to be accepted by family, faith, and honor."
This is the second book in the Brides of Montclair series. A very sweet, tender story.
