ROMANCE: Regency Romance: The Betrothal (Historical Victorian Romance) (Historical Regency Romance Fantasy Short Stories)
Emily Brant
Sarah Whitcastle and her three sisters are more fortunate than most of the people trying to survive an unending winter in Wyecombe, England. The small, seaside village is in the midst of the "Year Without a Summer", shortly after Napoleon’s surrender.
Though she’s been introduced to a man involved in the stirrings of industry in the Regency period, she has her doubts. He is generous, caring, and funny. Yet there are worries beneath lying beneath the surface after their promising engagement, a betrothal that could help shelter and save the faded minor nobility of the Whitcastle fortunes. Edgar seems to expect the independent-minded young woman to surrender her entire will and identity to his rule.
Sarah loves her family and her home, but yearns for adventure. On the day a chance encounter brings her into the sphere of ship’s captain Harrison Hargrove, she finds her desire to start a new life in distant lands to be in conflict with her fiance’s intentions for their lives together. Though she tries to guide Edgar towards her own expectations for marriage, he seems immovable. When Commander Hargrove returns to England to be lauded for his bravery, she finds her desires and her commitments on a path for collision that endangers not only her reputation, but the life of her youngest, dearest sister.
