The Devices of Darkness — Jean English
COUNTERFEIT LOVE
Penniless, alone in Victorian London, Jenny Stephens found herself trapped behind a ribbon counter, until handsome young Bradford Maguire offered her a business proposition: marriage. In return she need only pretend to be his wife for a while, to help him gain an inheritance that was his rightful due. To Jenny, living with Brad in the clean, country air of Whitestones, in the North Country, free of her stifling existence in the ribbon shop, made the deception worthwhile.
But Jenny did not bargain for what was to follow in the wake of her masquerade - the ghosts of the past, the voices in the night, and, in spite of herself, the certain knowledge that she had lived before...two centuries earlier....
