Lorimer Family and Clan Cameron series
As the widow of the late Lord
Walrafen, Cecilia Lorimer has free reign over her life. Her short, two-year
marriage was anything but a love match and she now revels in the freedom that
widowhood affords her. She has chosen to devote her time to the Daughters of Nazareth
Society – a charity mission for former prostitutes, run by an old friend. When
that same friend ropes in his brother-in-law David Branthwaite, Lord Delacourt
to take over in his absence, both Cecilia and David are disgusted. Just six
years before, David compromised Cecilia against her will, which led to a
hasty proposal. Adamant that she wouldn’t let society’s derision dictate her
life, Cecilia jilted David publicly and he has never forgotten – or forgiven –
her.
