"When she married, she'd like to think it would be because her heart was bound by love alone."
Obviously Victoria Haverwood's father didn't agree. How humiliating! Quite infuriating! The Earl had just proceeded to virtually auction her off, proposing marriage on her behalf, to an American sea captain of all people; never mind that Captain Saberton was heir to the dukedom of a family friend (which he was not at all inclined to accept), or that his commanding presence only contributed to his tall, dark, and handsome appearance. For reasons yet unknown to Victoria, her father was desperate to set sail from England as quickly as possible and was convinced that Nicholas Saberton was the one and only person he could trust to get them across the Atlantic safely.
She was lovely, elegant, refined, . . . . and probably spoiled, but the lady knew how to speak her mind, Nicholas Saberton would grant her that. It was a bit amusing to suffer through her father's misguided offer of marriage to his daughter, for Nicholas considered himself more than capable of keeping the "Princess" Haverwood safe from the threat of harm that Lord Haverwood was convinced might follow them, . . . . without marrying her. It didn't take long before the earl's worries proved warranted, for Victoria was nearly attacked before Nicholas' ship ever left port. And from then on, it seemed that life and eventually love would drive Victoria Haverwood into the strong and protective arms of Nicholas Saberton over and over again, begging the question; was that where either of them wanted her to be? And when trouble comes calling, will Nicholas stand to lose everything that he has gained?
"I must say . . . What I mean is, I've quite decided to love you."
Enjoy every word of flirtatious dialogue while "refined-banters-rogue" (but, only on the outside), fondly observing two characters transform into better versions of themselves, because they have loved each other. Truly, "He who finds a wife find a good thing." Provers 18:22 . . . . . even is she is a hand full.
