| Plot Summary of The Velvet Promise |
|---|
"In Jude Deveraux's "The Velvet Promise", the first of the Velvet series, we are introduced to the charming, and often frustrating, Montgomery's. The book takes place in the beautiful Highlands of Scotland, where Judith Revedoune is forced to marry Gavin Montgomery, a man she knows she can love from the moment she lays eyes on him. But Gavin's heart belongs to someone else. After he humiliates her and abandons her in a cold, strange castle, she vows to hate him forever. This book is a thrilling romance."
Pamela Piarowski, Resident Scholar
