Since the loss of her parents, Meredith Burnley has contented herself with a solitary life looking after her half-sister, Annabel. But Meredith's peace is shattered when her uncle schemes to marry her off to his son in order to gain her inheritance. Desperate, Meredith has only one choice: to flee with Annabel to their estranged grandparents' home. But their arrival soon reignites a family scandal--and kindles unexpected romance. . .
Happily reunited with the girls, Annabel's grandmother resolves to convince her nephew, Stephen Mallory, the Marquess of Silverton, to abandon his rakish lifestyle and wed Annabel. Stephen is clearly captivated--but with the wrong sister! Determined to make Meredith his
own, Stephen embarks on a seduction that will leave her with no choice but to surrender to his touch. . .
"Captivating tale of being a woman alone with no choices of her own. I
cheered for Meredith when she escaped her cruel relatives and fought for
her sister's rights in a family she's never known. This book pulled at
my heartstrings and left me with a warm feeling." ~ Publishers Weekly - Beyond Her Book
