But what he discovers on his arrival is far different from that expectation. When the man he should be able to trust proves to be utterly unworthy, he turns to the only person who seems likely to be able to help him discover the truth. Miss Bluebell Thornley has reached the point of despairing desperation, after near two years of deflecting the attentions of the Riverford estate manager, whilst also attempting to protect the inhabitants of Riverford Village from his cruelty. Then, she is given new hope – by the last person she might ever have imagined would care. Will Belle’s brother be saved from a terrible fate? Will the village fall into ruin, and Riverford Hall as well? Can Philip and Belle see past the difference in their stations, and work together to right the wrongs which have been done in Philip’s name? And when an undeniable attraction grows between them, will its scandalous nature drive them apart? Or will they find love in defiancé of all that society expects?
