'Protect what or who you love'
A phrase often heard in many places, just like what the phrase said, protect what or who you love because it's one of the many reasons why you want to fight, you want to live, that is to protect what or who you love
But what if you couldn't? °
What if the ones you want to protect are the ones hurting you? ~
What if the ones you want to protect are the ones who makes your life miserable? ¿
What if you're the one who needed to be protected but can't? *
Alot of what ifs are said that would make alot people overthink, if those what ifs did become reality then maybe...
You can make new ones, New memories, New Happiness, New Freinds... New people you want to protect with your whole life
And that is exactly what they did
They formed newer bonds that couldn't be destroyed easily, newer Memories that they will remember for the rest of their lives, newer hope that will light up your path to happiness, newer people you wouldn't want to lose because they are precious to you, and losing them would mean that you are back to the start...
That is the reason why they have each other... To protect what they love
Just when she's decided to leave the Town, Lady Cressida Belverst is forced to marry Lord Calan Haverston, the man who coincidentally knows a way out. Agreeing to marry for all the wrong reasons, can Cressida and Calan find out where their hearts truly belong?
***
It is impossible to leave the Town, but one woman is determined to escape with the help of her betrothed.
Lady Cressida Belverst has always been judged as a walking scandal. Oh, how she tries (on some rare occasions) to be proper! When her parents arrange for her to marry a rich lord, Cressida has had enough. She has to leave the Town because she will not be forced to live with a man she doesn't love. But what happens if the very man she's betrothed to is the only one who can help her get out?
Calan Haverston, the Lord of Easton, takes the risk and helps his betrothed by using his knowledge of the Town's secrets because he is as willing as she to stay free of marriage for reasons completely different. He has dark secrets he cannot share with her, and his life is not one he can likewise open to anyone. But what happens when she leaves after awakening desires he thought he has under control? And what happens when he finds himself longing for her?
Cressida goes to a completely different place, one she has only heard in stories and read in books, with hopes of finding what her heart has always longed for. But love, mystery and secrets will chase her and it will only be a matter of time before she realizes what her heart truly desires.
