No coin nor oath required. For personal study only.
Sometimes a broken promise really isn't broken. It's just a promise that takes a little longer to be fulfilled.
When her father betrothed her to a duke, Isobel didnโt worry because Alasdair swore heโd save her. But he didnโt. Then word came her true love had succumbed to the plague. So, she married, and life became a living hell. Now sheโs on the run to protect her son from his sadistic father and she discovers Alasdair alive and well, and begging for the chance to keep the promise he made so long ago.
Thanks to his MacCoinnich cousins; Alasdair Cameron is now the successful solicitor of two powerful Highland clans. A respected Scottish gentleman, his comfortable estate in Edinburgh has all a man could ever want. Except one thing. Life is cold and empty without his Isobel. Heโs loved her since the two of them were children. But her father gave her to another, and Alasdair arrived too late to save her from the altar. Heโs resigned himself to a life alone until his brother Ian talks him into a visit to Chรขteau Delatate, Edinburghโs elite and secretive gentlemanโs club, and the beguiling hostess answering the door is none other than his precious Isobel.
Duchess Isobel Cuthbarten never forgot her dear Alasdairโs oath: Iโll never let another take ye. Words of hope until she was told Alasdair was dead. The precious promise burned like salt in an open wound every time her abusive husband forced himself upon her. Now sheโs escaped with her son, determined to make a new life. Out of money by the time she reaches Edinburgh, she secures employment as a hostess at Chรขteau Delatate. Thanks to the mercy and kindness of the big-hearted madam; Isobel doesnโt have to receive men. As hostess, she makes them feel comfortable in the smoking room until their lady for the evening becomes available. The job provides a roof, food, and a bit of money to set aside. With any luck, she can soon save enough to escape to the Highlands where her son will be safe from discovery. But then Alasdair walks through the door.
Redemption. Healing. Love. Fate teases Alasdair and Isobel with the hope of all three. But before they can claim any of these, thereโs the unsettled matter of Isobel's cruel husband, the man determined to see her dead and do anything to recover his only heir.
