Violet: The Amberley Chronicles
May Burnett
Over seven long seasons Violet Ellsworthy has met nearly all the eligible men of her class, and rejected a large number of suitors. Can a rich, beautiful and well-connected young lady be destined to remain a spinster, just because she seeks the rare kind of love her parents share?
When Violet travels to Lincolnshire to inspect a mysterious legacy, a chance meeting with a handsome viscount proves that her heart is not impervious after all. But despite their mutual attraction, Simon, Lord Rillingworth, may not be for her. The young nobleman stands accused of a terrible crime, and if guilty, would be unworthy of Violet's love or loyalty. How can she trust her feelings for a near-stranger, when so much is at stake?
Violet is not one to idly stand by when trouble looms. Soon she is deeply involved in an unsavoury, dangerous intrigue...
