Only the boldest of ladies risks her heart and her reputation . . . Growing up at Shrigley Hall as the loving daughter to doting parents, 16-year-old Ellen Turner is the last girl one would expect to elope with a stranger. Yet when Ellen vanishes from her boarding school in Liverpool in the arms of the rugged scoundrel Edward Wakefield, and the pair are sighted together in a carriage racing from Gretna Green to the Port of Dover, everyone from her classmates to her childhood sweetheart Thomas Legh to her own family is forced to question her motives for such a wild transgression. When the newlyweds at last appear in court, with Thomas as magistrate, the rumours fly out of control. He says she planned the whole scandal. She says she had no choice. Who will society believe?
A captivating story of romance, passion and adventure set in nineteenth century London and Italy.
She needs a champion. He needs one less person to worry about. Selena Lockhart comes with neither dowry nor connections, and she knows better than to expect Society to give her a welcome—especially after her father gambled away his fortune, precipitating the family’s sudden fall from grace and Selena’s betrothed to break off their engagement. It therefore comes as no surprise that her new neighbor, Sir Lucius, treats her with disdain. Why should he look beyond appearances when her own promises so little? Sir Lucius Clavering is not married, but he may as well be, considering he is expected to escort his widowed mother to watering holes, round out the numbers at his married sister’s dinners, and come to the aid of his scapegrace younger siblings. It doesn’t help that single women and matchmaking mamas jostle each other to claim his face, fortune, and title so that he’s left without a moment’s peace. When Selena shows up at Lucius’s doorstep looking for help, he is sure it’s another ploy aimed at cutting up his prized bachelor existence. Although his prejudice does not last long, Lucius fears his first reaction might have ruined his chances with her. How can he save her from Society’s teeth when she continues to hold him at arm’s length?
