The Chains of Fate

By Pamela Belle

Aged ten, Thomazine Heron’s father died.

Sent to live with Sir Simon Heron, she fell in love with his son, Francis.

Years later, after learning of Francis’s death, Thomazine is married to her cousin Sir Dominic Drakelon, a union that was already decided when she was a small child. Thomazine knows she could never love her husband, but what other choice does she have with Francis dead?

But soon fate intervenes and the truth reaches her…that Francis is alive.

Leaving her newborn baby and her husband to find the man she loves, Thomazine sets out to find Francis, certain of their enduring love.

The Chains of Fate is a heart wrenching tale of enduring love, loyalty and betrayal.
