The Chain of Destiny - One Link At a Time

Book Description: Suzannah Lightfoot was alone in the world, without a job or the means to support herself. So when Guy Bowers-Bentinck came to the rescue, she had to accept his help. Guy was hardly a knight in shining armor. He was arrogant, infuriating and bad tempered! He was also difficult to avoid. Even worse, he seemed to have assumed that Suzannah was about to join the ranks of all those females wanting to marry him. What was a girl to do? Make a run for it? A sweet, heart-warming tale any Neels fan will love with the usual handsome Doctor and plain non-nurse in this case. Included are the usual misconceptions, false impressions, pretty but evil other female. Except for her cat, Suzannah Lightfoot is alone in the world and determined to make it on her own. Guy Bowers-Bentinck was always there, assisting when she needed help. As soon as Suzannah cleared one hurdle, another appeared; and whatever fate threw at her, Guy cushioned the blow, at times unknown to her. He realized that each occurrence was a link in the chain of destiny. Guy was patient, even more determined to have her share his life, and by taking one link at a time they would be each other's destiny. Guy and Suzannah appear in "The Mistletoe Kiss"

A girl and her cat

Back Cover description: Alone in the world, without a job. That was Suzannah Lightfoot's unenviable position when Guy Bowers-Bentinck rescued her. She had to accept his help--though she didn't want to be beholden to such an infuriatingly arrogant man. "He's so tiresome and ill-tempered and impatient and he must hate the sight of me," Suzannah reflected as fate kept throwing them together. So it was just as well, she told herself, that she wasn't prepared to join the queue of females wanting to marry him...Nice, pleasant Betty Neels story. The heroine and hero are typical, and likable. The story moves along, and all is well at the end. You can always count on Ms. Neels for a heart-warming story.

You Don't Want to Miss this Book !!!

... This is absolutely one of my very favorite Betty Neels books ! The heroine is absolutely charming and lovely and the hero is a great big Teddy Bear. This book will reach right into your chest and squeeze your heart as you read it. One of my very favorite parts of the book is when the heroine, who raced back into a burning nursery to save a child, is sitting patiently with her burned arm quietly waiting for medical attention with a death grip on the carrier in which her big cat resides, thinking that she cannot let anyone take the cat out of her hand because he was all she had left in the world. I actually enjoy sobbing through this part every time because I know that I will be crying tears of happiness by the end of the story. What a wonderful gift Ms. Neels gave us when she shared this story with us !This story will thrill loyal Neels fans and will enchant new readers. I promise. :)

The Chain of Destiny

The heroine of this story is bound and determined to make it on her own. She (unwillingly) accepts help from others. She doesn't know that the man she secretly likes but thinks she doesn't have a chance of ever having a relationship with is there in the background keeping an eye on her. Betty Neels knows how to write a real romance novel based on friendship and trust and not just hormones.
