Hold well your cup of tea.
This gripping story will take you far beyond the tedious conversation of drawing rooms and balls so typical of the Regency period.
During a visit to Essex, Lord Beaumont is enchanted by a pair of honey-coloured eyes.
Their owner, one of his friend's charming neighbours, is Miss Eleanor Brent.
Despite their short acquaintance, she seems to return his feelings, and Beaumont decides that, at last, he is prepared to take a step further.
But during a ball, he accidentally overhears a conversation.
Eleanor is, in fact, in love with another man.
Enraged by her duplicity, he abandons the area, vowing to forget her -- only to meet her again four months later, and discover he has made a colossal mistake.
Eleanor is too lively and too wild to fall in love.
Until she meets Lord Beaumont.
His dark, penetrating eyes are accompanied by everything a young woman dreams of in a man.
But after what seemed to be a promising beginning, her tender heart is broken when he leaves the neighbourhood, saying there is nothing for him there.Four months later, they meet again.
Love is rekindled.
But an old pain resurfaces; harsh and offensive words are exchanged.
And, without any warning, they find themselves at the mercy of desperate criminals, willing to do whatever is necessary to get the money they need to avoid the hangman.
Beaumont is wounded and left behind while Eleanor confronts a fate worse than death.
Determined not to give up until he finds her, Beaumont leaves for an unpredictable journey and, despite his despair, it is in his cousin Monty that he finds the strength to endure his quest.
"If I live..." is a romantic adventure involving betrayal and friendship, death and love, and where the determination of a passionate heart is taken to its limit.
As the sands of the hourglass fall, Beaumont and Eleanor realise that they cannot let hope die.
Hope and their new found love are all they have to keep them alive.EXTRACTMonty was now very curious about how Beaumont had managed to bear the journey from London to Portsmouth in his present condition.Beaumont chuckled at his enquiries.
"Richard, you know me well enough to guess I could not stay back when so much is at stake...
when Eleanor's life is in such danger." He looked around, and all eyes were on him.
He became serious again.
"They say that love and hate are the two most powerful forces to move a man.
I can guarantee you all, I have plenty of both."ABOUT THE AUTHORLiterature, especially historical and romance genres, is a great love of mine.
My interest in the classics began many years ago when I received a VHS with the 1995 BBC production of "Pride and Prejudice" as a present.
Since then, I have been reading everything I can put my hands on.
This passion matured and for the last year, I have been studying English and History at university and taking this new career as a historical romance novelist very seriously.For more information, please visit www.roselorimer.comNOTE FROM THE AUTHORDear reader,Please note that this story was first published as "Until My Last Breath", a Pride and Prejudice variation, still available on Amazon.
Some of my friends and family were not particularly fond of those variations, and so, during many conversations, I was struck by the idea of rewriting it.
And that is what I did.
Despite keeping the main structure of the plot, I changed almost everything else.
If you have read my first work, you will notice the enhanced writing style, which is now more engaging and professional, a direct consequence of my academic development.
I invite you to read this new version.
If you like romance and adventure, you will not regret it.
