Winthrop Trilogy Box Set
May Burnett
Lady Susan's Bargain: Lady Susan Winthrop, a widely admired heiress, needs to marry quickly. She cannot tell anyone the truth about her predicament, and the reason she gives is scandalous enough.
Lord Fenton's Revenge: Can a ruined woman still make a brilliant match, and more importantly, learn to enjoy her husband's attentions? Abigail Trevelyan and Jeremy Winthrop, Viscount Barton, are facing tremendous odds.
A Lady's Ruse: Milla, Lady Fenton, revels in intrigue - it seems doubtful that true love, between her and Barnaby Winthrop, could flourish in such an environment. Surrounded by swindlers and questionable allies, she will have to fight hard for a happy future.
Each of these books is quite different from the others, but they share a common theme of deception, or dissimulation of the truth: a necessity for villains and heroes alike, in a society that harshly censures every misstep.
