Hearts Restored

What can a young man of fifteen do when he is told by his mother that the three cousins he is about to meet all want to marry him? Daniel Wilson Horden has arrived in London with his parents on the very day of King Charles II’s triumphant return to his capital. Receiving his own personal wave from the king, Daniel longs only to serve him, but first he must avoid the threat of marriage. His two French cousins pursue him, but Daniel is intrigued by his English cousin, Eunice. Unaware of her feelings for him, Daniel is sent off to study at Cambridge University. Once she returns to her father’s home, Eunice is condemned to a life of austerity. Daniel goes off to join the navy, only to find that fighting in the king’s service is not as glorious as he had imagined. Will Eunice survive the hardship? And will Daniel return to fulfill the promise in his eyes on that fateful day in London?
