Devil's Double — Valancy Hunter

A swirling novel of passion and treachery in an age of high romance.

The Captive Bride

Beautiful Ann Flemming was young and innocent when she first set foot in teeming, brawling London. But innocence could not long survive in an age of elegant surfaces and bestial depths when a girl was alone and defenseless.

Spirited to a house of ill-fame, bought like a piece of merchandise as a gift to a jaded aristocrat, brutally forced into a loveless marriage to satisfy the terms of a will…this was but the beginning of her ordeal.

For now Ann was wife to a handsome, depraved man who used her as he willed…a terrified pawn in a game of wealthy and power played out on a sinister chessboard of passion and treachery.
