Woman of Conflict — Pauline Bentley

Forced into marriage with Jake Masters, disowned by her grandfather Oliver Ashleigh, Rebecca wondered what else life had to throw at her. Aware that Oliver's narrow religious beliefs set him against James II, Rebecca knew that her grandfather was working for the Duke of Monmouth. It appeared Jake was, too, but the Ashleigh - Masters feud stopped Oliver trusting Jake. And Rebecca began to have doubts. John Churchill was known to be James's man, yet her husband had meetings with him. What hope did she have of salvaging a marriage out of disaster when Jake Masters was such an enigma?
