Description
He led her to the darkest part of the grove. The moon was not bright that evening, but its lurid rays threw frightening shadows over Faulke's face. As he faced her, Eloise gasped as she recognized the look in his eyes, that desperate fire that had burned in them the day she saw him in the kitchen. "Why have you brought me here?" she asked. "There are secrets..." he said darkly. "Secrets that you should have known long ago, but were told nothing. These involve those closest to your heart. The ones you lost four years ago." Eloise put a hand to her heart. "My parents? Little Edward? Wha--what do you know?" She grasped his arm, "Tell me, please!" He breathed out his agitation in a sigh charged with emotion. Then he fastened his gaze upon her. "Though you know that your loved ones died by a gruesome fate, you don't know how they met that fate, do you?" ~~~~~~ In the height of the Regency Era, her merchant-class family was adopted by the rich Lord Arthur Trellis. Too soon, a fatal accident took everyone she loved from her. Now approaching an eligible age, the naive Eloise Trellis must be married to a wealthy suitor in order to keep the Trellis lineage alive. Yet when her fiance's love for her is not what it seems, and a charming man claims to hold the answers she seeks, Eloise is thrust into a whirlwind of loss, hope, and desire. Who shall she marry in this world that is so new to her? Whom can she trust when every face holds judgment and expectations? Whom can she love when her world has been crushed yet again?
