The Silent Love

Read The Silent Love Storyline:

Beginning her arranged marriage as a timid, untried miss, Lady Hannah DeLacey grows into her position as Marchioness of Darlington with aplomb and a great deal of spine she hadn't previously been aware of. Never having been called upon to exercise her considerable intellect or her natural leadership abilities, Hannah surprises herself constantly with her ability to overcome personal loss, baseless fear and other trials as she navigates the aristocratic maze that is now her life.David Strongbow begins his journey into true manhood with the handicap of being the by-blow of a peer who has scarcely paid him a moment's attention beyond educating him. David has sunk low in his self-pity and estimates himself worthy of deception. He therefore accepts the role his father offers him, deceitful and immoral though it is—and likely illegal—in the hopes of gaining a financial foothold in life that will present a fresh start.The Marquis of Darlington is a man unaccustomed to having his wishes thwarted, however, when he finds himself without an heir, he must do some creative maneuvering in order to continue the ancient lineage of his family. In doing so, he succeeds only in nearly ruining the lives of those he loves.Mary Strongbow, the woman who holds the heart of the marquis, has long since given up on the haughty and selfish peer, hoping only to have some time with her son occasionally. When she see's, however, what he is up to, Mary takes measures of her own. She will do her best to prevent him ruining anyone else's life the way he ruined hers.
