Preview Vows of Honor
Born to the landed gentry but forced into a life of servitude, Miss Amelia Parker has forgone any hope for happiness. Attending balls and meeting a gentleman who will speak to her heart has been replaced with the reality of scrubbing floors. It is when her grandmother informs Amelia that she is to marry a man in exchange for a parcel of land that Amelia tempts fate and escapes with a secret to her aunt’s home of Scarlett Hall.
Fate had been doubly cruel to Lord Christopher Beaumont, for he has failed yet again on his quest to find a bride in order to please his dying father. It is while carrying this shame on his return home that he meets Amelia and believes his luck has finally changed. Amelia is beautiful and mysterious, and he offers the servant woman safe passage in his carriage in hopes she will be desperate enough to accept his offer of marriage. Although Amelia finds Christopher handsome, it draws her ire that yet another man wishes to purchase her hand rather than ask for it. Instead of accepting his unconventional proposal she does agree to play the role of his wife. Yet, she did not expect new feelings to accompany it. As Christopher learns more about Amelia, he begins to question not only her story, but the feelings rising within him. And Amelia must make a decision – either speak of the burden she carries or allow it to forever remain a secret.
