Stanford Sisters - Part 2
Cassandra Stanford, or Cassie as she was known to her close friends and family, was, at the grand age of seventeen, in love with the handsome Major Ellington. He had arrived on her doorstep, of her family home, looking every inch the storybook hero; tall dark and incredibly attractive. But, he was far from the heroic figure she had been dreaming about for all those years. Manipulated, by the handsome Major, into the life of a courtesan, could Cassie escape from the life that had been so cruelly thrust upon her, or would she be trapped forever?
