Only One Love: Or, Who Was the Heir

Charles Garvice

British Literature, Novels, Romance

Lost in the ancient Forest of Warden, young Jack Newcombe stumbles upon a world removed from society, and into a mystery of blood and belonging. Gideon Rolfe, a solitary woodman living on the forest's edge, offers the lost traveler shelter, but his eyes hold secrets. His daughter Una, wild as the woods themselves and beautiful beyond reckoning, ignites in Jack a passion that will shape his entire life. Yet the forest hides more than game and hidden paths. Whispers of an heir, a fortune, and a child lost to some old scandal begin to shadow their growing love. As the question of who truly belongs to whom threatens to tear them apart, Jack must choose between the woman who has captured his heart and the truth that could destroy them both. Garvice writes Victorian romance at its most atmospheric: all moonlit trysts, forbidden desires, and the savage beauty of love against the constraints of class and secret lineage.
