Angel is about to lose everything. Where will she go when the last penny is spent? And what about the household staff who are now dependent on her? They're her only family now.
Perhaps she should be grateful her uncle has found a prospective husband for her in Shenandoah County, Virginia.

Her fiery temper and independent spirit ensure she won't make a good wife; she's sure of it.
Why then does Lord Wellington insist on pursuing her?
But she soon finds he isn't the only one pursuing her; so is Charles Ashwirth.
And his plans for her are indeed frightening.
