(As we all know, Charles Taylor is not a gentleman to be rushed—but we are most certain he will be worth the wait.)

Charles Taylor has always done what is expected of him. The right words. The right alliances. The right sacrifices.

But when his heart falls for a lady whose circumstances threaten every one of those expectations, Charles is forced to choose between duty and desire, propriety and pleasure—whether to uphold the legacy he’s inherited, or finally follow the long-silenced call of his own heart.

A Righteous Reckoning is a story of loyalty, longing, and the quiet rebellion of a man who’s had enough.

From the Desk of Miss L. E. Watson

“Some reckonings are loud. Others… wear cravats and say nothing at all—until it is far too late.”

This one is different. Somber. Slow-burning. And not without consequence. Charles Taylor’s story is not a tidy affair—but then, the deepest emotions rarely are. Brace yourself.
