The story: You pierce my soul. I am half agony, half hope...I have loved none but you. When Anne Elliot was nineteen, she fell in love with the ambitious naval officer Frederick Wentworth; the pair were quickly engaged. As the daughter of a baronet, however, Anne was persuaded by her family to end the imprudent relationship. Now, seven years later, Sir Walter Elliot's lavish spending has jeopardized the family fortune, while Wentworth has risen through the ranks to become a wealthy and distinguished captain. When fate brings them together again, their feelings are unchanged--but will they reconcile?
