Book
Married by Morning
First published 2010
Leo Hathaway’s antagonism with family companion Catherine Marks conceals a powerful mutual attraction. When the survival of the inherited estate depends on Leo marrying and producing an heir, Catherine’s hidden identity and dangerous family connection make their relationship both necessary and perilous.
The romance turns on entail, succession and the limited security available to a governess or companion. Its Victorian household is unconventional, but the legal dependence of the estate on a male heir remains a conventional aristocratic constraint.
