The Captaín`s Bride ( The Cramptons - Book 05) (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798262759651)

"I will come back, Juliette... for you, for us! I promise that nothing, not even distance or time, will keep me from being by your side." - Simon

"Simon, you are the love of my life. The love of all my lives that have passed and those yet to come." - Juliette

Lady Juliette of Blackmore, daughter of the Duke of Cantrell, and Lord Simon met by chance at the Crampton family's Christmas Eve dinner in 1822. She, a shy fifteen-year-old young lady, daughter of the Duke of Cantrell. He, a seventeen-year-old nobleman, untitled but with a heart full of dreams; among them, to become a military hero like his uncle, Captain Robert.

What should have been only a polite meeting turns into a deep and inexplicable connection, as if they had known each other in other lives. What they did not know was that, indeed, they were bound by an ancestral past - as Elizabeth and the Duke of Cantrell, protagonists of an ancient curse.

Between promises whispered by the window, secret pacts, and vows sealed in letters, Simon departs for India. Juliette, still so young, waits for him in silence. Until, before leaving, he asks her for a proof of love... and she gives herself to him.

But a secret grows within her womb and will be kept for years, hidden between undelivered letters and broken hearts.

A love written in the stars.
A passion marked by destiny.
And the question that crosses generations: is it possible to rewrite the ending of a curse?
