Desire

By DT Jones

In the summer of 1879, the idyllic town of Marshallville is a world away from the bustling streets of England, where dreams and ambitions collide. Bobby Harris, a spirited young woman, has spent the last year immersed in her studies at a prestigious finishing school. At the same time, her childhood friend and sweetheart, Jacob Crawford, remains in Marshallville, Pennsylvania, waiting for the day she returns. Their bond, forged during a transformative summer they call "The Stolen Summer," was always tinged with unspoken feelings.

Jacob's heart sinks when Bobby reveals her acceptance into an esteemed college in England. He fears the distance will extinguish the flame of affection that has burned between them since their youth. As the years pass, doubt creeps into Jacob's mind-does Bobby still love him, or has she outgrown their shared dreams in the quaint town they once called home?

With the fear of a rival, Bobby tells Jacob about a new friend, Jon-Pierre Garnier-Matisse-a dashing, wealthy suitor with a penchant for arrogance. He is everything Jacob is not: refined, sophisticated, and a man of the world. When Bobby's father informs Jon-Pierre of her engagement to Jacob, the handsome rival's fury ignites a battle for Bobby's heart.

As Bobby and Jacob begin to plan their wedding, they are met with unexpected challenges that test the strength of their love. The couple must navigate the treacherous waters of their emotions, facing not only external pressures but also their own insecurities.
In a world where love can be as fragile as it is powerful, Bobby and Jacob must confront the ultimate question: Is their love strong enough to withstand the trials ahead?

"Desires" is a poignant tale of love, ambition, and the courage to fight for what truly matters. Set against the backdrop of a changing world, this romantic saga invites readers to explore the complexities of the human heart and the lengths to which one will go to protect their deepest desires.
