True Born: The Bastard and the Countess

"Strong emotion you, as the reader, can really feel is the signature of a Lara Blunte novel." D. O'Brien

1758
At seventeen, Miss Georgiana Blake knows that John Crawford is the only man she will ever love -- and that she will marry him.
Never mind that John is the bastard son of an Earl, or that he is leaving to fight in India. John is indestructible: he will be back, and she will wait.
Georgiana cannot imagine that her marriage will become crucial to her family, or that she will have to forsake the man she adores.
A man whose virtue is not forgiveness.

This is a standalone book, as are The Last Earl and This Hell of Mine . They only share the family title, Halford, with 100 years between the stories and no characters in common. You may read the books in any order.
