Langley's Legacy - 1933 Can an arranged marriage between two feuding families create a new beginning and help them survive the catastrophic financial devastation of the Great Depression or will secrets and betrayal doom them all to failure? Maura Jackson has heard about the feud between her family and the Langleys since she could walk. Her papa made certain she knew every despicable detail. She wanted to hate Aidan Langley. She needed to hate him. It was her duty to her family to hate him. But, ever since that hot summer day when she and Aidan caught each other swimming nude, she has had a hard time convincing herself what she feels for Aidan Langley is hate. It feels like so much more. Now, her parents have agreed to a business arrangement with the Langleys. She and Aidan will marry and have a child-the link that will bind the families together. But can she keep her part of this arrangement without losing her heart to the handsome enemy? Aidan Langley's life had been pretty good up to this point. But when financial setbacks threaten to rob his family of everything his parents and the generations before them worked so hard to claim, he was agreeable to do just about anything-even when his parents asked him to marry Maura Jackson, the great niece of the man who accused his dad of ruining him and caused a black mark on his family's name. Could their union truly unite these two feuding families, or will their animosity toward each other tear them even farther apart? Aidan wasn't convinced it could work but he would do his duty to his family's legacy. One thing was for certain, his heart would never belong to Maura Jackson-and as soon as he lived up to his end of the bargain, he would set her free. A story of perseverance and discovering love in the last place you expected to find it. " Beare and Forbeare"
