Battle weary and finally ready for the love he had been waiting so long for...

John finally came home to marry the love of his life and settle into the estate he had inherited. But that was not to be. While he had been sacrificing his life for his country his lover had been busy falling for someone else. With a broken heart he decided to leave his hometown to Texas only to return two months later.

His plan... to marry the woman he had fallen in love with through letters.

For Jemma it was a case of wanting more out of life than just being a kitchen maid. She wanted love but it wasn’t going to be easy. Could John get over his broken heart to love and trust her? Or would the suspicion of the family caretaker and the visit of John’s ex-lover finally do them in?
