Francesca / An Independent Lady

Sylvia Andrew, Julia Byrne

Francesca Shelwood is mortified when Marcus Carne reappears in her life--he stole the most magical, illicit kisses from the young, innocent Francesca! And she swore never to forgive him after being punished for her "wanton" behavior.... Now, on her inheritance, Marcus has returned to offer the unimaginable--marriage! An indignant Francesca refuses, but very soon she walks headlong into danger--and the only man ready to sacrifice his life, and reputation, for her sake is Marcus....
