The Countess and the Miner — Olga Sinclair

Countess Anastasia and Irena, an illiterate peasant girl, were worlds apart, but when Duncan MacReith learns that Lord Eveson had raped Irena, he rushes to the big house intent on revenge. But with Eveson gone, MacReith is confronted by the Countess, who out of loneliness does not turn him away. The pair talk, drink vodka, and lose all inhibitions. When both the Countess and Irena find themselves pregnant, Anastasia's announcement is met with delight and relief while Irena is left fearful that Eveson conceived her baby. Will her beloved Duncan accept the child as his own?
