All You Wish
110 pages · First published 2019
A young woman who has learned to keep her wishes modest finds herself confronted with a relationship that makes her want considerably more from the future. Regency expectations and family obligations complicate attraction, especially when the gentleman involved has reasons to doubt that their hopes can align. Misunderstandings force both to distinguish between wishing for an ideal life and recognizing the good already within reach. Arlem Hawks’s clean historical romance combines faith-friendly themes, manners, and a heroine discovering that love can ask for both courage and a revision of what she thought she wanted.
