MARRY HER STEP-FATHER'S GHASTLY CRONY? SHE'D RUN TO THE ENDS OF THE EARTH FIRST!
Not even a vicious beating could stop Clarinda Devereaux from fleeing her scheming step-father and her vile betrothed, Lord Frampton. But injured and delirious, she was unprepared for the olorous country roads. . .or the imposing figure of Colonel Brooke Pennington.
Safely ensconced at his family's genteel home in Bath, her fear of discovery eased more than a trifle, replaced instead by a delicate flutter of her heart in the company of the dashing, mysterious Colonel.
But when her worst fear came true, a very frightened Clarinda learned there was much more at stake than she ever dreamed. Only Brooke Pennington held the key to her destiny. But would it be misery... or love everlasting?
