Will You Love Me In September by Philippa Carr (Victoria Holt) (1981-05-13)

"Will you love me in September' was an awsome book. Victoria Holt truly put her all into this one. Clarissa and Lance were unforgetable lovers. This book made me feel as if I were the leading lady and I fell in love with the leading guy. When Clarissa is kidnapped by a band of men, she finds out that they are Jacobites. The leader's nephew finds out that his uncle is going to kill Clarissa, so he helps her escape. Over that period, they fall in love, and Clarissa is devastated when he leaves, after she is safely in Lance Clavering's hands. Soon afterward, she marries Lance, only to discover that he has gambling problems. But, she always forgives him. I loved this book and I have read it over and over again.Victoria Holt is a truly magnificent writer and I have all of her books ("Will you love me in September' is written under Philipa Carr). This book is part of the Cornwall saga, which starts with "A miricle at St. Bruno's", and ends with "We'll meet again". It is the 8th book in the series of 19 books, ranging from the reign of King Henry the 8th, to WWII. You won't be able to put it down. (It is not a satisfying ending though.)
