Mary Seaham: A Novel. Volume 3 of 3

Six months have passed, and Mary Seaham finds herself back in Edinburgh, facing the man she has promised to marry. But Eugene Trevor is not the confident lover she once knew. His eyes hold jealousy, his words carry fear. He has seen Mary with another man, Mr. Temple, and the wedding that should unite them now trembles on the edge of ruin. As Mary grapples with Eugene's dark suspicions and her own creeping doubts about a man whose brother's mysterious shadow still haunts their engagement, she must ask herself what price she will pay for devotion. The third volume of Mrs. Grey's trilogy plunges into the psychological torment of a woman caught between her promises and her instincts, between what society demands and what her heart whispers. This is Victorian fiction at its most emotionally raw: a study of love corrupted by insecurity, of trust shattered by secrets, and of the terrible weight of a choice already made.
