For the Sake of Love

David Alderton, the Vicscount of Cunningham has no time for love or new-fangled bluestockings. When he gets embroiled in investigating a suspicious headmaster in Nettlefold, little does he expect love to hit him like a freight train. But his first encounter with his ladylove is nothing like he would have expected it to be, but everything his heart could ever yearn for. Pity she is about to be shipped off to the colonies as some else’s bride. Miss Charity Worthington is afraid and about to have her life turned upside down. Once upon a time St Bernadette’s school for girls in outer Nettlefold was a safe haven for illegitimate girls and those of reduced circumstances, but that has all changed now. Although she has two older sisters, Esther and Abigail Worthington, she might as well have been born alone. Their whereabouts are unknown and the only person who could shine a light on what has befallen them is not talking. But a fate surely worse than her sisters awaits her if she cannot find a way to escape the authority of Robert Savage, the man responsible for her sleepless nights. Little does she expect in the middle of her crisis that she will meet a man who will take her breath away and steal her heart in the process.
