For A Father's Pride

A Legacy Reclaimed

When Anna Trent returns to the windswept Yorkshire moors of her childhood, she expects only to settle her late uncle’s affairs and sell the crumbling ancestral home. Instead, she discovers a stack of faded letters and an unfinished leather journal that hint at the family’s hidden past—a story of love, sacrifice, and a promise made long ago. Determined to honor her father’s final wish, Anna embarks on a quest to piece together the fragments of a pride that once bound the Trent family together. But as she digs deeper, she realizes that some truths can heal—and others can wound.

Bonds of Blood and Heart

Across the rugged landscape, she crosses paths with Mark Llewellyn, the brooding architect entrusted with restoring the estate’s historic chapel. Mark, burdened by his own secrets and an unspoken debt to Anna’s father, finds himself drawn to her fierce passion and quiet strength. Together, they navigate the tangled roots of old alliances and long-buried resentments: a secret engagement broken by class divides, a brother’s betrayal that fractured the family line, and a promise of protection that still echoes through the corridors of the Trent manor. With every storm-lashed night and candlelit confession, Anna and Mark learn that healing the past requires both courage and compassion.

The Price of Redemption

As the restoration nears completion, Anna unearths the final piece of her father’s legacy—a vow that could redefine her future and the fate of the estate. But when a rival heir reappears, demanding his share of the Trent inheritance, Anna must choose between the stability of the past and the uncertain promise of new beginnings. In a breathtaking climax beneath the chapel’s stained-glass windows, she confronts the true meaning of pride: letting go of old grievances to embrace forgiveness and love. Will Anna find the strength to honor her father’s request and carve out her own path toward happiness?
