The Merchant's Daughter — Sheila Holland

Cornelia Brent was too beautiful for her own good. The daughter of a modest merchant, she unwittingly attracted the roving eye of the reich and dazzling Rendel Woodham. A member of King Charles immoral court, Rendel had an iron will and the power to force the innocent girl into marriage. She fled-- but the hunt was on, and Rendel was not shaken from the scent. Trapped in her gilded net, Cornelia struggled-- until her hated enemy showed her how little she understood her true desires.
