The Rose and the Yew Tree (Westmacott)

Many Exquisite Dreams Isabella CHarteris - lovely, slender, serene as a medieval saint. The princess of Castle St. Loo, gently grommed for her shining knight and bright, untouched future of privilege. John Gabriel - decorated hero, vulgar opportunist. That he shouldappear in her life at all spoke of the final chaos of war. For Isabella, the price of love meant abandoning a dream forever. For Gabriel, it would destroy the only chance ambition would ever offer. What drew them together was something deeper than love.
