Hallowed Vows

Isabella Forrester is the epitome of grace and duty, the perfect daughter of the Forrester family, bound by her promise to marry Edward Ashford, a man of wealth and status. But beneath the surface, Isabella's heart yearns for something different. When she crosses paths with William Blake, a groundskeeper from a humble background, everything she thought she knew about love and duty is called into question. Torn between the life her family has planned for her and a love that defies all expectations, Isabella finds herself on a dangerous path of self-discovery. Her engagement to Edward is no longer a promise of happiness, but a chain binding her to a life she doesn't want. Yet the stakes are high. Betraying her family, her heritage, and her vows could mean losing everything—her family's name, her status, and even her future. As Isabella is drawn deeper into a secret and passionate affair with William, the weight of her choices grows heavier. In a world where duty to family and society comes first, Isabella's heart is pulling her toward a love that could cost her everything. Will she honor the vows she made to her family, or will she risk it all for the chance to live her own truth? Hallowed Vows is a dark and romantic tale of forbidden love, duty, and sacrifice. For readers of Julia Quinn, Sarah MacLean, and Georgette Heyer, this is a story about the choices we make, the promises we break, and the cost of following our hearts when society says we cannot.
