Abigail’s future looks bleak. Although a member of Britain’s
aristocracy, Abigail has led a sheltered life in her father’s
country manor house. The news that he has arranged for her to marry
Lord Sutton, a titled man known for his profligate behavior,
changes everything. Desperate, Abigail arranges to elope in the
middle of the night with a neighbor she has dreamed of since
childhood. When the plan goes awry and Abigail becomes deathly ill,
she is rescued by a kindly stranger - whom she soon learns is Lord
Sutton. Tedric is nothing like the rake she has heard is Lord
Sutton. Are the rumors false? Or is she truly bound to a man who
values nothing about her except her family name?
