Henry Grant

Henry Grant ~ Viscount of Bruns

Three years earlier while enroute to New York, Henry came upon a small farm. Where he met the woman of his dreams, a lady he thought he could never entertain thoughts of due to her lower ranking within Society. Then while aboard the Queens Heart with his family as they headed for London to meet his future bride, the fates smiled upon him.

The mysterious young woman from the farm that has held his devout attention and heart was non other than the long lost granddaughter of the Grand Duke and Duchess of Wilshire. Better yet he found Ava too had thought of no other than he. Excitement abounded as he convinced his family to end his betrothal to Lady Marianne Talley, an engagement that was soon found not to be trifled with. For unbeknown to him or Ava Lady Francis Talley had gone to Duke George Carmichael threatening to spill forth her secrets if he did not cease the relationship.

Heartbroken, Henry married Marianne, his heart still belonging to Ava he attempted to make the best of things, until the day an invitation to Ava's announcement ball arrived. Incapable of denying himself one final opportunity to attempt to win her heart and run off to America, he left the decision upon his wife. Who willingly accepted, yet did not at the time realize that Ava's heart had turned in favor of his dearest child hood friend, Alexander Lorenza.
