Summary
"If hope sounded like diamonds, surely truth sounded like silver, the truth of the promise of a new life."
Lady Gwyneth Barrington and Lord Devon Godfrey are both fleeing towards a new life, with all their heart, soul, mind and strength; Gwyneth desperately searching for a means by which to clear the name of her beloved, especially since her anguished words had branded him as a murderer. A recent convert from Catholicism to Christianity, "faith was no longer about empty rules, . . . .it was about a love that saw me through . . . "
Devon "Dirk" Godfrey has just escorted his beautiful Gwyneth to the secure sanctuary of Godfrey Estate, knowing that leaving her behind with his family will break her heart, but will keep her safe from his scarred reputation. Until his name can be cleared, possibly never, he cannot risk the consequences of association.
Romanticism permeates this lovely tale with the unabashed quality of a Shakespearean drama. Two souls bare before each other; loving fiercely, hurting deeply and hoping fervently, that the end of the story will be much different than the beginning.
