My Divine Althea Sue Lewando

Althea Caradoc is passionate about the past, embarking on the excavation of a possible Roman building;before the proposed new Motorway obliterates the evidence. Jack Chadwyck is the landowner fighting for his present. He resents the proposed Motorway that is going to tear his land in two, and resents the archaeologists from disturbing his last year of peace. Despite being entranced by Althea, he does something he later regrets. Althea is hurt by Jack's actions, and by the prejudice that is surrounding her, and doesn't know who to trust. Jack must overcome his own prejudices in order to win her, but maybe he's gone one step too far, and it's too late.

This is a gentle romance with strong, modern characters who battle with their own prejudices in order to reap the rewards they both ultimately deserve.

Romancing Softly is the brand identity for romances that explore the psychological conflicts of new relationships, eschewing overt physical detail. These perceptive romances feature strong, contemporary, protagonists. Happy endings are the name of the game, the story element providing a challenge that has to be met and conquered by the protagonists if they want to achieve their happily ever afters.
