Beverley Oakley

Honour? Or her heart's desire?

When Felix discovers the divine "Miss Hope" in his bed, his betrayal is acute.

Two years ago, he’d been on the verge of proposing to the beautiful governess who had taught his neighbour’s children. Ignoring his family’s objections, he’d been determined to make her an honourable offer.

But Hope had suddenly vanished.

Now, to Felix’s shock and dismay, Hope is the surprise gift his friends have sourced from London's most exclusive House of Assignation in the hopes of lifting his dark depression.

Despite the pain of the past, Felix can't bear to lose her again.

But Hope Merriweather is bound to her new life by a dark secret. She sacrificed Felix two years before.

Now, she must choose again: Honour or her heart's desire?

For readers who love second-chance, redemption love stories with a happily-ever-after they didn't see coming.

Forsaking Hope is Book 2 in the Fair Cyprians of London Series but can be read as a standalone.

Forsaking Hope: A Victorian Second-Chance Romance

When Max, Lord Belvedere, is abandoned at the altar, he believes his dreams have come true!

All that’s needed to secure his freedom is to reassure his ailing Aunt Euphemia that he is really is serious about finding a bride.

Wrapped up in the delightfully diverting arms of Violet Lilywhite while visiting London’s most prestigious House of Assignation, Max hits upon the perfect plan. A pretend wedding to a ‘penniless shop girl’ should fulfil Aunt Euphemia’s romantic dreams without losing him his newfound liberty.

Violet agrees to the deception without hesitation. Lord Belvedere is certainly the most charming and surprising of all her male consorts but she has no illusions about a shared future. She wants only to escape the clutches of infamous Madame Chambon.

The plan appears perfect until Max and Violet - against their will - find themselves falling in love.

Can Max give up his plans for freedom in an exciting new land? Or is freedom to be found in the arms of the woman he loves?
