Ranleigh Court

About this book

I am afraid you misunderstand me, Miss Cameron. I am not offering you the post of governess...but a position as my wife! It was hardly the romantic proposal of a young woman's fantasies. But Elizabeth Cameron could no longer afford the luxury of waiting for dreams to come true. Her father's death had left her destitute . . . forced to sell all her possessions to repay his debts. So Gregory Darrell's proposition was one she could not refuse. The marriage—in name only—would make her mistress of his splendid estate . . . and step-mother to his beloved son. But from the moment of her arrival at Ranleigh Court, Elizabeth questions her husband's motives—especially as he makes no secret of his association with another woman. And especially when she learns of his business partnership with her late father. And as the weeks pass and intrigue deepens at Ranleigh Court, Elizabeth grows fearful that she is being made a prisoner there. That she may pay for her impulsive marriage of convenience with her very life.... A rich novel of romance set in nineteenth-century England.
