The Black Swan — Rachel Cosgrove Payes

Lady Margarita Elena Godoy was in love with the dashing Sir Roger Jeffries, who had pledged his own love with the gift of a silver box with her initials on it.

A mere trinket, Sir Roger had called it -- but nothing could have made the enamored young Margarita happier.

Then, white traveling to a rendezvous at the Black Swan Inn, a vicious blow struck by a mysterious highwayman turned her happiness to the horror of amnesia. Who was she? The initials on the treasured box spelled out a name. She was Meg. She was a servant girl -- soon hired by the Baron of Hurleigh Hall, the strange Edward Fanstock. Would her new employer, who seemed kind, help her or harm her? Would she ever again learn her true identity? Only the appearance of Sir Roger might restore her memory. But then, could she even trust him?
