After their engagement, Marcus leaves never to be heard from again until six years later when he receives Lydia's letter requesting that their engagement be dissolved. Upon receiving this letter, Marcus is determined to show Lydia her mistake with her request. THOUGHTS This was an exceptional work of historical fiction by Victoria Vane and I can also admit that I was extremely entertained by the author's dialogue between the main characters, Marcus and Lydia. Within the novella, the author manages to give us a bit of plot, spicy scenes and likable secondary characters, which helps to build more appeal to the main characters and storyline. The story starts us off with the announcement of both Marcus and Lydia's engagement, which then has Marcus leaving immediately after. Fast forward to six years later with an itchy, frustrated and unwed wife to be, Lydia. The moment both Marcus and Lydia reconnected, immediately had me bursting with excitement, starting with their letters to each other as Lydia requested to void the contract. As short as there letters to each other were, it was entertaining. The fact that Lydia did not make it easy for Marcus after six years was a plus for me as well. The other key moments for me personally, was the moment Marcus saw Lydia again after six years and the build up of their chemistry leading to their intense moment with Marcus bringing tea to Lydia's room. That moment ignited everything. With Marcus' comments and determination to have Lydia, I found myself wanting more of him and with Lydia's determination to pull away, had me engaged while everything unfolds. The epilogue and the last few sentences were amusing and left me with a smile on my face. Another pleasure to read was Nicholas and Mariah. Nicholas is Marcus's best friend and Mariah is Lydia's cousin. With the brief time of getting to know them, I was also drawn to them and can honestly say I don't mind reading a story involving both characters.
