To Have and to Hold: Timeless Edition Featuring Authentic Illustrations

To Have and to Hold By Mary Johnston In the early days of colonial Virginia, Captain Ralph Percy, a brave Englishman, lived a quiet life in the New World. One day, he agreed to marry a mysterious young woman named Jocelyn Leigh, not knowing she was actually a noblewoman fleeing a forced marriage back in England. Their marriage began as a formality, but soon, real feelings began to grow between them. Trouble followed quickly, as powerful enemies discovered Jocelyn’s secret. Ralph and Jocelyn had to escape danger—from greedy lords, pirates, and even attacks in the wilderness. Together, they traveled through forests and faced storms at sea, never giving up on each other. Ralph’s courage and Jocelyn’s spirit helped them survive every challenge. Their bond grew stronger, and what started as a marriage of convenience turned into true love. In the end, they found safety and freedom in the new land. To Have and to Hold is a story of adventure, sacrifice, and a love that was tested by fire but never broken. In the wild heart of America, they built a life together, not just by promise—but by choice.
