About this ebook
Honour? Or her heart's desire?
When Felix discovers the divine "Miss Hope" in his bed, his betrayal is acute.
Two years ago, he’d been on the verge of proposing marriage to the beautiful governess who had taught his neighbour’s children.
But Hope had failed to appear for their secret assignation, supposedly rejecting Felix in favour of a position abroad.
Now, to Felix’s shock and dismay, Hope is the surprise gift his friends have sourced from London's most exclusive House of Assignation in the hopes of lifting his dark depression.
Despite the pain of the past, Felix can't bear to lose her again.
But Hope Merriweather is bound to her new life by a dark secret. She sacrificed Felix two years before.
Now, she must choose again: Honour or her heart's desire?
For readers who love second-chance, redemption love stories with a happily-ever-after they didn't see coming.
Forsaking Hope is Book 2 in the Fair Cyprians of London Series but can be read as a standalone.
What the readers are saying:
"I have found a new author. Storyline that reaches into the darker side of human nature. Twist and turns with a couple of double twists. Hope remains..."
"A sad story with intrigue, deception, strong emotions, suspense, violence and passion."
"An emotional story that keeps you reading until the last page."
"Immerse yourself in the time period -- put yourself in a situation of no way out, no options, no hope. Highly recommended -- I lost myself in the storyline -- and in history."
Beverley Oakley
Beverley Oakley was seventeen when she bundled up her first her 500+ page romance and sent it to a publisher. Unfortunately drowning her heroine on the last page was apparently not in line with the expectations of romance readers so Beverley became a journalist. Twenty-six years later Beverley was delighted to receive her first publishing contract from Robert Hale (UK) for a romance in which she ensured her heroine was saved from drowning in the icy North Sea. Since 2009 Beverley has written more than thirteen historical romances, mostly set in England during the early nineteenth century. Mystery, intrigue and adventure spill from their pages and if she can pull off a thrilling race to save someone’s honour – or a worthy damsel from the noose – it’s time to celebrate with a good single malt Scotch. Beverley lives with her husband, two daughters and a Rhodesian Ridgeback puppy the size of a pony opposite a picturesque nineteenth century lunatic asylum. She also writes Africa-set adventure-filled romances tarring handsome bush pilot heroes, and historical romances with less steam and more sexual tension, as Beverley Eikli.
