Would you give up everything you ever dreamed of for love? My entire life has been a series of requirements that have been forced upon me by society and my dictator of a mother. She rules my life like she does society—with an iron fist covered in lace gloves. Every fiber of my being longs for the day when I can escape to live a life filled with adventure … that is until I meet Nathaniel Theodore Kentworth. He’s new money. A man that clawed his way up from a life of poverty with determination, intelligence, and sometimes bare fisted brute strength. From the first moment I saw him, I knew he was mine. He’s everything my mother hates. And everything I dreamed of meeting. But with life and love there is always a sacrifice, and this one might be more than I can take. Beatrice's Story is a standalone book.
