“She was truly torn. Nathan could protect her and Harry. He could provide a life and education for Harry that she never could, even if by some miracle she secured one of the positions she desired. But her gut told her what he said was true. Her soiled reputation would prevent her from ever achieving her dreams. At best, she could hope to slave away in a tavern or as a seamstress for the rest of her life, or she could attract some man’s attention and become his mistress. The thought repulsed her.... She only knew one decent man—and she’d been hurt more times than she could count by Frank, who was supposed to be her greatest protector—but she had that little nugget of hope her mother’s letter had instilled in her. If she married Nathan would her hope be well-placed or dashed? She glanced sideways at Nathan from underneath her lashes, and her heart tugged. He was astonishingly handsome with his strong jaw line, patrician nose, full lips, and persuasive eyes. If she was honest, it didn’t hurt that he was rich, and therefore, she’d likely never know cold and hunger again.MoreLessRead More Read Less
