The Lady Of Fairhaven

Welcome to Fairhaven, the ancestral home and primary seat of the Marquess Sinclair, Alexander Greyson. At twenty eight years old, he begins to feel the pressures of his title, a responsibility to marry and produce an heir. But he has no desire to quit Fairhaven for London society and the mostly absentminded misses there within in a futile search for a wife, and ultimately sentencing himself to a lifetime of boredom. So he writes to a distant cousin, asking for his only daughter’s hand. At the marriageable age of sixteen, Caitrina would be a fine choice. Though he had not laid eyes upon her since she was a child, Alexander felt certain he would not be disappointed. The women in their family were well bred, beautiful, intelligent, and they all possessed a will of iron he was sure would challenge and excite him. All qualities worthy of the next Lady of Fairhaven.

Caitrina Lester has a somewhat strained relationship with her father. Ever since she was four years old and her mother died unexpectedly, her father buried himself in work, spending very little time at home, and thus distancing himself from his two young children. Caitrina’s only companions were her brother, a young maid, and Nana, an older woman whom existed only in Caitrina’s dreams; a fantasy she attributed to a lonely girl’s imagination, to be the mother she so desperately missed. Though Nana was not real, the pair formed a lifelong bond, a bond that continues to shape her.

Now forced to leave the only home she has ever known and marry a virtual stranger, Caitrina adjusts to her new life at Fairhaven, with a fortress as ominous as its name. But the old family estate holds secrets, secrets long buried with the ancestors who kept them. After she makes a startling discovery, Caitrina and her new husband must put aside their doubts, overcome their fears, and trust in faith, and love above all else if they are to uncover the mysteries of their past and finally heal their family.
