Young love is all too fleeting, as Harold Jonquil painfully discovered years ago when Sarah Sarvol, the niece of a neighboring landowner, captured his heart. After an idyllic few weeks in the throes of blossoming love, reality intervened. They could have no future. Following their disastrous parting, Harold attempted to push aside thoughts of love and regret, but Sarah has never left his heart. Now, years later, he has achieved his lifelong aspiration of becoming the local vicar. However, the role proves more difficult than he imagined. He feels hollow and uninspired—until the most important person in his past returns, challenging him as no one ever has.
When Sarah’s ailing uncle summons her back to the family estate in England, there is only one person from her past she is reluctant to see again: Harold Jonquil, the only man who has ever claimed her heart. But when she comes face-to-face with her former beau, she hardly recognizes the aloof and dull man before her. She is determined to help Harold rediscover the passion he once felt toward his chosen profession. Soon, despite their exasperation with each other, they cannot deny the stirring of feelings long buried—but is it too late for second chances?

About Sarah M. Eden
Sarah M. Eden read her first Jane Austen novel in elementary school and has been addicted to historical romance ever since. With a degree in research and a fascination with history, Eden loves delving deep into history. She is the author of multiple historical romances.
I adore the Jonquil brothers! I cannot get enough of them and want them to keep coming even after getting through books for each brother. I am pretty sure I have 8 book boyfriends and they are all named Jonquil or honorary Jonquil.
This book about Harold or “Holy Harry” is an emotional ride that made me laugh and cry. It also updates us on what is going on in the lives of everyone else. I love it when the brothers get together and we got to spend a lot of this book with the family. I stayed up until 4:00 am to finish it because I couldn’t stand not knowing what would come next. I loved Harold and Sarah both. I loved how they helped each other as well as helping themselves. And I love how the Jonquils support each other and those they adopt into their family circle.
No sex, language or violence
This is one of my favorite of the Jonquil brothers stories. We had little clues about Harold throughout all of his older brothers’ stories, so the anticipation for this one has been building for years. I just knew his brothers had misunderstood him by the way they so often teased him. I couldn’t wait to get to know the real Harold and Sarah Eden did not let me down. It was a beautiful story!
