Publisher Description
Forsaking all others...
Gage Trembath is getting married. He is the only one who knows it, but the statement is true nonetheless. The woman he had once loved has been married elsewhere for a time, and he can put off his own marriage no longer. The woman he has chosen to marry, without love, is sensible, quiet, musical, and amenable, which should enable him to have a good marriage and a content life. That is all he wants now, and Honora Berkeley makes the most sense.
Honora cannot believe that a handsome and wealthy man like Gage has any interest at all in marrying her, even without love. She has certainly very little to recommend her, but escaping her life of criticism and abandonment is something she cannot resist. But what about the woman Gage had once loved? The one who was perfect for him and the one who made him determined to abandon love? Are his feelings for her truly gone? Will Honora ever have his affection along with his respect?

A couple you want to root for from the beginning!
From the beginning I found myself rooting for these two! Gage may well be the perfect man. Having been jilted in the past he is now looking to enter a marriage of convenience, confident that he will never love and be hurt like that again, but wanting to have a genuine relationship based on respect and friendship. Honora is so damaged from a lifetime of psychological abuse at the hands of her family that she has no idea of who she really is and is happy to feel the freedom that comes with her new marriage, even without the prospect of love. The two are absolutely lovely together. He is so understanding of her needs and so supportive in allowing her to find her self confidence. The connections that they make are so sweet, and the doubts and fears are so achingly real that as they make their way towards genuine happiness you find yourself completely invested in the outcome.
As the third book in the Cornwall Brides series, it was so nice to reconnect with some favorite characters. This clean, sweet story can be read as a stand alone, but I highly recommend reading the series in order to get the most out of character development.
