His own father sends him away when he is a boy to live in a different country with his grandfather who despises him and aunts who don’t know what to do with him.

Lady Beverly vuole che suo marito onori la promessa che le ha fatto la loro prima notte di nozze, prima che per lei sia troppo tardi. Lady Beverly Huddleston non ha mai dimenticato la promessa che suo marito le ha fatto quando si sono le avrebbe dato tutti i bambini che avesse voluto, perché è cresciuta come figlia unica e si è sempre sentita sola. Il ritorno del marito dal suo lavoro di diplomatico all`estero le sta per dare l`opportunità di concepire, ma lui evita il loro letto. Lord Christopher Fenwicke, il visconte Huddleston, è tornato dall`Afghanistan senza buona parte della gamba sinistra. Il dolore con cui vive viene alleviato solo dall`oppio che prende tutti i giorni. E anche se lo fa soffrire meno, non gli permette di fare le cose che amava fare. Più di questo, la cosa che lo fa sentire frustrato e nervoso è che da quando è tornato non è riuscito a fare l`amore con sua moglie. Spiegarlo a lei è stato il momento più terribile della sua vita, perché non poteva rivelarle quale fosse la causa del suo problema, e l`esperto che aveva consultato non gli aveva dato speranza di trovare una cura. Beverly cerca di pensare a cosa possa provocare una cosa del genere, e quando pensa di averne trovato la causa, deve cercare di convincere suo marito a farsi aiutare. Christopher è disposto a tentare qualsiasi via per riavere la sua passione per la vita, e soprattutto la possibilità di onorare la promessa fatta alla sua adorata moglie.

Sandy Raven has a husband who spoils her rotten, and kids that are just a hair’s breadth away from perfect. She’s addicted to House Hunters International and has never missed an episode, though she acknowledges that she could never live in most of those countries because the houses are just too small. She is also addicted to Starbucks’ Chai Latte, and never passes up an opportunity to have one. Sandy grew up on the Texas Gulf Coast with sand between her toes and perpetually frizzy hair. Which is why she now lives in the middle-of-nowhere Virginia, in a place with minimal to moderate humidity (for perfect, non-frizzy curls,) rolling hills and farmed forests. The only downside to that is the temperamental satellite internet and the closest Starbucks being a thirty minute drive away. Home is a renovated old farm house she shares with her hero husband, in the foothills of Blue Ridge Mountains, where she’s owned by more cats, dogs and horses than she cares to admit to. She’s a long-time member of RWA, and is a member of VRW and the Beau Monde. Second to writing is her love for her horses. She practices natural horsemanship, and loves to ride her barefoot Tennessee Walkers on the trails and in the woods around her home.
