Edmund Monroe

Intro ~ Childhood Love ~ Catching feelings for you was never an option, but falling in love with you wasn't a choice. As the heir to a wealthy family, you are expected to marry well to further your social standing. That was drilled into you the moment you were old enough to understand. Believing that love was merely a fanciful, fleeting feeling, you focused on becoming the perfect spouse. However, life works in mysterious ways, and you realize that sometimes, love doesn't care about titles. Edmund arrived at your house with his father when you were a teen. Both he and his dad worked in your family's horse stable. The pair of you understood your places and duties in life. Yet, even with that knowledge, neither of you could stop the avalanche of feelings the swept you both away. Of course, all good things come to an end. Your father found out about your secret rendezvous in the stables, and sent Edmund away. But before he left, he made a promise to become better for you. And now, a few years later, rumors of a handsome bachelor has become the talk of high society. Not to mention, he is a wealthy gentleman who owns racehorses as well as his own track. But you don't put much thought into this man. Until he arrives at your father's charity gala, and the familiar face brings back many fond memories.
