Darnley's Bride — Vivian Stuart (2)
WENDY HAD MARRIED FOR LOVE
Modestly born, Wendy Hepburn was charmed to be the wife of Sir Darnley Blood - and mistress of their castle overlooking the sea in the Scottish Highlands. But she was not so charmed by his gay divorcee friend, Georgie, and she couldn't quite figure out Georgie's brother, the painter Jamie, either.
Darnley had not told Wendy that his own brother had died rather recently...in a sailing accident. Or that Darnley's former wife was still very much alive. Wendy could forgive his silence up to a point - these were painful matters - but she reached that point when she saw him with his first wife, and then found her own life in dire jeopardy.
Could her own husband want her dead? Would this dream-like existence beside the lovely sea cliff end in a nightmare?
