Honor Bound Groom

A The Heart's Truth Story

Betrothed from the cradle in an archaic agreement between her father and his best friend, Loren Dubois returns to Isla Sagrado to fulfil her father’s promise and to marry Alexander del Castillo—a man she’s adored all her life. Separated from her beloved birthplace when her parents split up, she hasn’t seen Alex for ten years but she never dreamed that her reaction on seeing him again would be so powerful.


Alexander del Castillo knows marrying gawky little Loren Dubois is a wild risk but the media hype of their marriage and the story that surrounds it, is a publicity machine all of its own. With the economy of Isla Sagrada dependent on his family’s success, what could be better than being seen to honor an agreement between two old friends and delivering a fairy-tale happy ending? He’s determined she’ll be pregnant with his child within the first year of their marriage and he’ll have done his duty, proving that another generation of del Castillos will remain on Isla Sagrado and putting to rest the rumors of a 300-year-old curse on his family.




The last thing Alex expects is to fall in love with his wife, but how will he persuade her into his bed and out of the cold pre-nuptial agreement he himself insisted upon.
