Promised: A Long Journey Home is the fourth volume in the Lost series. Here, readers will follow the journey of Elisa Clarke, one of the series' most beloved characters, as she tries to find her place in the world.
Elisa is a little bored. Her days seem the same, and balls have long since ceased to bring her any pleasure. Not that it's a surprise, because whenever she's there, the events turn into disasters! And it's unfair, since she's been a good girl her whole life. Born into one of the most influential families, the young woman learned from a young age to respect social norms and stay away from scandals. The one time she ignored one of these rules, she ended up engaged.
And it was just a kiss, for crying out loud! A kiss Elisa had fantasized about ever since she met and fell irrevocably in love with the handsome and kind young doctor, and which, as fairy tales tell, changed her life forever. But not in the way she expected. As a result, she's now betrothed to someone who despises her so much that he'd rather live on another continent. All she wants is for things to stay that way. But Elisa doesn't know that her fiancé is on his way to Brazil, and she'll have to face the man whose heart she once felt forced to break.
Destined to be together, but separated by their hearts, they will engage in a sinuous dance marked by secrets, past hurts, intrigues and an overwhelming passion that will put in danger not only their feelings, but both of their lives.
