43 pages

A love that defies Society’s rules

Actress Clarissa Bartlett craves fame and fortune on the stage. After years of struggle since she left the Duke Street Orphanage, she’s achieved theatre acclaim at Covent Garden. When her aunt takes a wealthy lover and decides it’s time for Clarissa to take one too, Clarissa turns to the only man she trusts, the earnest Reverend Francis Brody, her total opposite.
Francis ministers to the Covent Garden parish while he awaits a promised living in Hampshire, and avoids Miss Fanny Hodges, the woman everyone thinks he will marry. When the beautiful Clarissa seeks his help to avoid an unwanted liaison, he can’t refuse her safety in his bachelor rooms. Suddenly, his ordered and respectable life is thrown into chaos.
As their enemies unite to destroy their reputations and their careers, Francis offers Clarissa protection in a marriage of convenience. Soon, they’re finding it hard to resist their attraction to each other and starting to believe they may be a match made in heaven…until their hopes for a future together are shattered.

Will they find a way to be together when so many forces are tearing them apart?
