Loving the Nobleman

Emily Crawley has lived in Remington House her entire life. Her parents have been in service to the Duke of Remington and his family for years, and now that Emily is of age, she has joined the staff as well. When the Marquess of Remington, the duke's eldest son, Charles, returns after his years at school, Emily realizes her heart has always belonged to the handsome Lord. Alas, he is to be wed to the rude and condescending Lady Caroline, a marriage that was arranged years ago.

Emily Crawley, a young chambermaid, has just become the luckiest maiden in all of England. Charles, Lord of Remington, heir to the duke, has made her his wife and future duchess. She is now Lady Emily, the Marchioness of Remington. Theirs is a love story that began the day she was born, when six-year-old Charles first laid eyes on the wee red-headed babe that had been born to the family's beloved cook and the duke's valet. Through the many obstacles they survived to be together, it seems that their dreams have finally come true.

The passion of Charles and Emily continues. Emily now has everything she could possibly wish for, a loving, handsome, dominant husband, a noble title, fine clothes, parties, and wonderful holidays. But there is one thing her heart desires more than any of those luxuries, the child she and Charles so desperately want and have not been able to conceive. As is usually the case, things are in turmoil in the Remington household, and when Emily is suddenly thrust into the role of the Duchess of Remington, she must learn to put that desire to rest in the farthest corners of her heart, at least for a time.
