To Be By My Side

Years ago, Aurora Miller's heartfelt connection with a naval officer pen pal ended abruptly when he vanished before their planned meeting – unaware he'd been deployed on a perilous mission, choosing silence over a farewell he might not survive. Forced from her home soon after, she never received his later letters. A decade later, now a doctor, Aurora reluctantly agrees to her mother's final wish: a marriage of obligation to Damien Hawke, an honorable former naval officer. Neither desires this union, unaware Damien is the very man whose disappearance shattered her trust years prior.
