Lady Veera Sarawathi Torrington does her duty to the family by marrying a man of her Father's choosing, Lord Christopher Spencer, who with one look made it clear that he did not like her.
And he would change his opinion soon...
Full Summary:
Lady Sarah Torrington, or rather Lady Veera Sarawathi Torrington, as she prefer her name to be, knew from the moment she met her father at the age of eight, that she will be ridiculed and spoken I'll of both in and out of her home. But she will always live by the values her mother taught her. Even if it means accepting the man, who sniffed at her at their first meeting, chosen by her father as her husband.
Lord Christopher Spencer, Marquess of Wolverston, has only one motto: Go Against His Parents. Before her death, his cold hearted Mother ordered him to marry a woman, who is well respected, wealthy and blue blooded. So a year later, he did the exact opposite. Marry a woman, who is a walking scandal.
But he did not know what he got himself into.
Just when she's decided to leave the Town, Lady Cressida Belverst is forced to marry Lord Calan Haverston, the man who coincidentally knows a way out. Agreeing to marry for all the wrong reasons, can Cressida and Calan find out where their hearts truly belong?
***
It is impossible to leave the Town, but one woman is determined to escape with the help of her betrothed.
Lady Cressida Belverst has always been judged as a walking scandal. Oh, how she tries (on some rare occasions) to be proper! When her parents arrange for her to marry a rich lord, Cressida has had enough. She has to leave the Town because she will not be forced to live with a man she doesn't love. But what happens if the very man she's betrothed to is the only one who can help her get out?
Calan Haverston, the Lord of Easton, takes the risk and helps his betrothed by using his knowledge of the Town's secrets because he is as willing as she to stay free of marriage for reasons completely different. He has dark secrets he cannot share with her, and his life is not one he can likewise open to anyone. But what happens when she leaves after awakening desires he thought he has under control? And what happens when he finds himself longing for her?
Cressida goes to a completely different place, one she has only heard in stories and read in books, with hopes of finding what her heart has always longed for. But love, mystery and secrets will chase her and it will only be a matter of time before she realizes what her heart truly desires.
