The Road To Winterhill

Society shuns Belinda Presley when her mother's scheme results in a forced offer of marriage from Richard Branston, the Earl of Berrington, the man she loves in secret. Warm conversations during the day and passionate nights of love at night on their three-days' journey give Belinda the only happiness she has ever known. Yet on arriving at Winterhill, Belinda feels the family's animosity, as the earl, unaware of the danger she leaves her in and still resentful, returns to London. Her only friend, Lord Wilbur, and solitary walks, are her solace, but Belinda's enemies' hatred soon place her in extreme peril.
