Rebel Heart — Valancy Hunter

ESCAPE TO DANGER

Oliver Cromwell ruled England, and Luther Bascomb ruled Bascomb Hall, and until such day as the world turned upside down, there was nothing to be done about it.

This was the lesson young Abigail Bascomb had been taught by her Puritan father, whose stern morality, combined with the plotting of Abby's treacherous brother, made her life one of cruel bondage. Abigail's only escape lay in her visits to the neighboring estate where two men lay siege to her heart. She had known Robert Farnsworth since childhood, and told herself she loved him as a brother even when her lips yielded to his. She had never known a man like Nicholas Hatton, or a passion such as he aroused in her. Two different men, two different loves--and a common danger as they both drew Abigail into a storm of swirling intrigue.
