By Susan Anne Mason
When stable hand Nolan Price learns from his dying mother that he is actually the son of the Earl of Stainsby, his plans for a future with kitchen maid Hannah Burnham are shattered. Once he is officially acknowledged as the earl’s heir, Nolan will be forbidden to marry beneath his station.
Unwilling to give up the girl he loves, he devises a plan to elope—believing once their marriage is sanctioned by God that Lord Stainsby will be forced to accept their union. However, as Nolan struggles to learn the ways of the aristocracy, he finds himself caught between his dreams for tomorrow and his father’s demanding expectations.
Forces work to keep the couple apart at every turn, and a solution to remain together seems farther and farther away. With Nolan’s new life pulling him irrevocably away from Hannah, it seems only a miracle will bring them back together.
ISLAND BREEZES
The present is good, but the future looks very bright for Nolan. The girl said yes, and he has enough money saved to buy a small farm. He even has an agreement with the owner to purchase in one week.
Then all his plans are as ashes when he becomes wealthy. You must wonder why that would make that much of a difference. It does when the wealth is accompanied by nobility.
His life is no longer his own as his father forces him into a lifestyle he doesn’t want. It snuffs out his happiness, but fails to eliminate the longings he had for his future with Hannah.
I can’t tell you any more without giving away the plot. You really must read this for yourself. You’ll appreciate how Nolan thinks and acts.
Thank you, Ms Mason, for this very enjoyable read. I look forward to more of your books.
