WHEN LOVE IS ENOUGH
by Laura Landon
Gabriel Talbot loved her. Liddy knew it. Felt it. Owned the deep and tender knowledge of it, so much so that in Gabe’s arms, she knew her heart was safe. Lydia Landwell loved him. Gabriel saw it in her eyes. Felt it in every tender word. Theirs was a love that few couples could boast, and they knew it, cherished that knowledge in their hearts until the day Gabriel might announce his intentions to her father.
But before the words could be spoken, before the hearts could be united, Gabe broke Liddy’s heart and walked away. She could never know that if he stayed, if he forced her father to give him Liddy’s hand in marriage, a cruel vendetta would leave her father and brothers penniless.
To save their fortune, he broke her heart, and took his own shattered heart off to the Crimea, until, half dead, he made it home to the only woman who can heal him. But how can she save him when she is now pledged to a man he admires more than any other?
Read WHEN LOVE IS ENOUGH and see how author LAURA LANDON manages to tear down the barriers of pain and mistrust...as two broken hearts learn the only lesson they will ever need to know. That love is enough.
