Book Author: Jody Hedlund
What do you like about this book:
"They're priceless treasures. Each marking or chip makes them even more special."
Can Lady Sabine ever consider herself free of blemish; constantly hiding her marked skin beneath the covering of her gloves? Will it be her demise; being that her fellow countrymen think such disfigurement is a sure sign of witchery? Can it prevent her from a suitable engagement; denying her marital bliss in spite of her kind nature, independent spirit, considerable knowledge of the arts; not to mention her vast fortune? When Lady Sabine's wily grandmother learns of Lord Bennett's desperate circumstances, she arranges a visit to Maidstone Castle with her granddaughter, having a lot more in mind than the mere purchase of ancient relics and paintings.
Lord Bennett is aghast at his mother's sudden suggestion to marry a rich wife in order to remove their family out from under the weight of extreme debt; debts incurred by Bennett's grieving brother who drank and gambled his way through personal loss. When a neighboring lord forces his hand, Bennett becomes more open to the idea of entertaining the lovely Lady Sabine as his guest; she is witty, learned, and forthright; surprising him again and again with the pleasure of her company. Nevertheless, Sabine and Bennett are both harboring secrets, secrets that have the potential to ruin their chances at a uniquely happy "happily-ever-after".
"For Love and Honor" is everything that fans of Jody Hedlund have come to appreciate and enjoy; regaling her readers across the generations with the timeless reminder that God-given uniqueness is a priceless gift, bestowed out of everlasting love.
