English heiress Dianna Marshall wants for nothing—except the right to choose her future…
Two hearts…
1912. No one defies the Earl of Ansmall. And no one knows that better than his eldest daughter, Dianna. She’s spent nineteen years learning well the value of grudging obedience. But when the earl arranges her marriage to an elderly duke of questionable morals, she can no longer sacrifice her heart on the altar of her father’s pride. She pays a heavy price for her rebellion.
Three lives…
Widowed Texas cattle rancher, Jake Douglas, understands sacrifice. And loss. He has the scars on his heart and a lingering regret to prove it. Which is why he’ll never remarry. But when his cousin’s penniless widow washes up in New York harbouring a pregnant runaway, he does the only thing his conscience will allow.
One future…
Compelled into a marriage of convenience, Dianna and Jake soon realise they have more in common, than not. So when long-held secrets surface close to home, and longer-held traditions reach out from across the Atlantic, they discover that the only thing more heart-wrenching than wedding someone you don’t love, is being married to someone you do…
From the lush green English countryside, to the windswept Texas panhandle, and gritty streets of turn-of-the-20th-century New York, My Dear One is a novel about family… their secrets, their lies… their unbreakable bonds, and power to shape an individual’s future… and the individual’s power to break free, and reshape a family, when unexpected love blossoms in defiance of all expectation…
