Barrett's Estate

A widower, a father, a businessman and a criminal.

Isabel was reluctant when her father proposed a marriage between her and Mr. Barrett, a last-ditch effort to save their family from ruins after the failure of his textile factory. She accepts the proposal, for the benefit of her family while silently hoping for a chance to fall in love with her new husband but...she finds out that her husband is a criminal. The heir to a syndicate, a criminal empire. Despite this they overcome their differences and she does fall in love but nothing good lasts for too long.
