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....

Contains mature themes.

This is a well written love story and what made it different than most was the main characters Rebeca & Millicent were strong women that grew stronger in her life journey as most women find out in real life!

There was a lot going on in this book. The hero's mistress refused to go away after she was dismissed. The heroine's mother is a drunken washed-up actress who she doesn't know. The heroine almost got raped so she killed the pig and went into hiding as a widow pretending to be the mother to the hero's 9-year-old deformed son. The hero is having the heroine investigated but yet trying to seduce her. The hero's lawyer and best friend wants to marry the heroine, but he is the one the hero tasked with conducting the investigating of the heroine. The squire has slaves he's abusing. The squire is tupping the hero's ex-mistress in the home of his wife. The squire abused his wife and accused her of sleeping with the slaves. The heroine and the squire's wife planned to run away together. We then find out that the hero's 9-year-old deformed son is really the hero 's father and the hero's dead wife child. Then a series of events happened. The squire killed a man he thought was having an affair with his wife. Then one of the slaves killed the squire. Then the hero killed the bailiff. We then found out that the heroine didn't actually kill the pig who tried to rape her. And finally, we found out that the heroine is the daughter of an earl.

Interesting premise. The story and the characters are superior to most but the narrator needs to understand proper emphasis.

I liked the book except for the incessant use of the word LAD.

Sometimes lad was used several times in one paragraph. This became so grating that repeatedly
I had to stop listening until I got over my irritation.

Boy ... child ... youngster ... By the characters name ... James or Jamie ... whatever the spelling was in the book.

Where was the editor ?? Writing 101 teaches that a closely duplicated word should be replaced by a synonym.

Needs a thesaurus

A well written historic novel. Exposing the issues of slavery and woman’s issues of the late 18th century in England.

Good suspense
