The Captain’s PromiseBook Two of The Daughters of Rosewood Hall
Charlotte Ashcroft has loved Captain Nathaniel Westcott for as long as she can remember.
As a girl, she dreamed of the adventurous young sailor who promised excitement beyond the boundaries of village life. But when Nathaniel left to serve in the Royal Navy during the Napoleonic Wars, those dreams seemed destined to remain exactly that—dreams.
Now he has finally returned home.
Yet the man who comes back to the county is not the carefree young officer she once adored. Scarred by war and haunted by the friends he left behind, Nathaniel keeps the world at a careful distance, determined never again to risk the pain of losing those he loves.
When a village restoration project brings them together, old friendship begins to blossom into something deeper. Charlotte sees beyond the reserve and the scars to the kind, honourable man beneath, while Nathaniel finds himself drawn to the one woman who has always understood him better than anyone else.
But when the ghosts of the past threaten their future, Nathaniel must decide whether love is worth the risk of heartbreak.
Can a wounded sailor find the courage to trust his heart again? And can the woman who has loved him for years convince him that some promises are worth keeping?
A heartwarming Regency romance filled with family, friendship, second chances, and the healing power of love. Perfect for readers who enjoy marriage-minded heroes, devoted heroines, country-house romance, and happily-ever-afters.
