Love's Untold Secret — Betty Hale Hyatt

Beautiful Roma Kendal came to the great estate of Mullins to be near the man she adored--a man about to wed another. With the loss of her family legacy, Roma had lost all chance of marrying handsome, aristocratic Trevor St. Coryn. Her cousin Lucretia would now be the happy bride, but Roma suspected there was little love between them, for such a man as Trevor could only love a woman of depth and desire--a woman like herself.

But when she arrived at Mullins, it was not Trevor who brought her heartache, but Roc St. Coryn, the menacing brigand who abducted her and submitted her to his cruel caresses. And even now, free from his embrace, she could not escape the memory of his forceful kisses--or his hateful accusations that shook her faith in Trevor. For Mullins held a hideous secret that would bring these two men to a violent clash, compelling Roma to choose between the nobleman she worshipped and the ruthless rogue she could oat_ resist.
