Ransomed Bride — Jane Peart

"I must believe that, she reminded herself. It is all I have."

Lorabeth Whitaker has fled an unacceptable marriage arranged by her mother in England, only to fall in love with a handsome young Virginia planter, Cameron Montrose, whose marriage to another woman is unofficially taken for granted by his family and friends. She and Cameron are tormented by a conflict between the dictates of conscience and a growing love they feel for each other.
