LOVING YOU FROM AFAR
A Historical Romance Novel
by Sonia Odasomhe
London society taught Isabella Blackthorne that love was a weakness.
Born into wealth, trapped beneath corsets, expectations, and the suffocating rules of Victorian high society, Isabella has spent her life becoming the perfect daughter-silent, elegant, and obedient. Her future is already arranged: a respectable marriage to the cold and powerful Edmund Ashcombe.
But storms have a way of resurrecting the past. Three years ago, Isabella loved a boy she was forbidden to touch. Lucien Vale.
The reckless son of a stable hand. The boy who taught her how to breathe beyond the walls of privilege. The boy her father destroyed to protect the Blackthorne name.
Now, on the very night her engagement is meant to secure her future, Lucien returns-not as the poor servant society once mocked, but as a dangerously wealthy man carrying secrets, revenge, and a love that never truly died.
In a world where reputation is everything, Isabella must choose between duty and desire... even if loving Lucien means destroying everything she has ever known.
Because some love stories are not born in ballrooms. They are born in storms and some hearts continue loving each other- even from afar.
LOVING YOU FROM AFAR is a dark, emotional historical romance filled with forbidden love, obsession, revenge, betrayal, Victorian elegance, haunting moors, slow-burn tension, and the kind of passion that survives distance, time, and heartbreak.
