BLURB:
Born and raised in Latvia, Rebecca Balodis marries Rhys Sudduth,
an English diplomat. Shortly thereafter, he is summoned home to attend his
father’s death-bed. Rebecca cannot accompany him at the time and becomes
trapped in the turmoil plaguing her country. He is informed she died in the
upheaval.
Nearly four years later, she escapes and arrives in London with
their son in tow. Arriving in the middle of his sister’s ball is very awkward,
especially since Rhys plans to announce his betrothal to a young debutante
later in the evening.
Trouble, tangled in suspense and danger, follow her from Latvia.
Can this pair ever find or even recognize an enduring love? Is it worth
keeping?
Excerpt:
The
gangplank of the Dragon’s Stirr had been lowered ready for Latvian passengers
to board. The creak of the ropes tying the vessel to the dock rasped Rebecca’s
nerves, reminding her that soon Rhys would sail back to England without her.
Devastated by the thought of such a loss and at such a time, she swallowed
hard. How can I bare to let him leave me behind?
Standing
on the dock in the mid-day sun, she tried to hold back her sobs and for a
moment, she feared her knees might give way beneath her. She clinched her jaw,
trying to hold steady and caught the lapels of Rhys’s finely tailored jacket
with trembling fingers. A rising ocean breeze stirred his dark hair and swirled
her skirts about her ankles as he placed his hand over hers.
When
Rebecca gazed into Rhys’ deep blue eyes, Gorgi Weister’s words intruded.
Sudduth is almost believable when he claims undying devotion. I admire his
talent. Her chest burned with apprehension and she gulped a deep breath. What
if Weister is correct? Does Rhys wish to abandon me as Weister implied?
Weister’s
sly innuendoes and the sound of his mocking laughter circled in her mind, but
she pushed such negative views aside. Guilt for allowing a moment of doubt to
fester filled her with shame, but that too, she brushed aside. Ne! I refuse to
believe Rhys would desert me. Although we have only been married a few months
his love is strong and will endure forever, as will mine. Nevertheless, doubt
crawled into her head, impossible to completely deny. Still, why would a
government official such as Gorgi Weister attempt to stir trouble with lies? It
made no sense!
