In "Once and Always", newcomer Alyssa Deane echoes both the rich and exotic setting of the classic The Far Pavillion and the beautiful period details and popular storytelling of Mary Jo Putney to craft a sweeping tale of passion, intrigue, and tumultuous romance in 1857 India.A clandestine love affair is the last thing Roxane Sheffield expects from her trip to India -- a reunion with her long-estranged father is troublesome enough. But when she arrives in Calcutta alone, the only person to offer aid is breathtakingly handsome British infantry Captain Collier Harrison. As he introduces her to the exotic countryside, he awakens a passion she never imagined she would feel -- and a love she would risk anything to keep. But Collier has a secret that stands in the way of the paradise he's found in this proud woman's arms, and as a political rebellion erupts in terrifying brutality, he is torn from Roxane's side without a chance to explain. So begins a journey that will take them through near-tom cities of India and across the seas to England once more, as they struggle to believe in the magnificent power of true love. |
