About this ebook

Jude Deveraux portrays the power of a woman set on a bold course for true love—and the glory of fulfilling a magnificent promise.

Handsome plantation owner Wesley Stanford would barely recall the poverty-stricken young girl named Leah Simmons who adored him from afar years ago. Now, in an unexpected twist of fate—a chance encounter on the Virginia riverfront—he will become Leah's reluctant husband. Determined to forge a new life in untamed Kentucky, Wesley discovers that the bride he hopes to abandon is passionate, proud, and brave—and may be the woman he cannot live without.

Ratings and reviews

The worst, and iv read some bad Romance. The hero, I had to check the back cus "ick", takes advantage of the under fed frequently abused heroine and then spends the rest of the book blaming her for his actions and whining to his family about how she's not good enough for him. His family tries to gussie her up to make her more appealing to said "hero" without ever acually trying in any real way to help her. Just ick

I always know I'll be reading a good book when it's by Jude Deveraux.

Ended too fast. Felt like there could of been more.
