For Love or Honor

Posted on by

From the moment they met, Marjie s heart has belonged to handsome Captain Stanley Jonquil, younger brother of the Earl of Lampton But six long months ago, when Stanley s sense of honor required that he do as he had sworn and return to the Continent to fight in defense of King and country, neither Stanley nor Marjie could have dreamed what the cost of his service would be It has been ages since Stanley last wrote, and Marjie and the Jonquil family are plagued by his unknown fate until the day he unexpectedly reappears Marjie s joy, however, is quickly shadowed by confusion the aloof, battle worn soldier before her is not the man he once was In the wake of Stanley s blatant disinterest in renewing their acquaintance, Marjie s devastation turns to determination as she vows to help him find peace But his scars run far deeper than anyone realizes Despite his feelings for her, Stanley believes Marjie deserves a man whose hands are not stained with the violence of battlefields and whose mind and heart are not haunted by the horrors he has seen Honor requires Stanley to return once to the life he has grown to despise, one he knows will destroy him in the end, even as his heart beckons him to stay with Marjie, the only woman he could ever love, and the promise, at last, of redemption.
