Jemima knew that Viscount Ockley was only marrying her because he had been jilted by her cousin, Niobe. Now that she had run away, Jemima no longer cared. She could not go on being beaten by her uncle and made so desperately unhappy. Marriage to a Regency Buck with expensive tastes, mounting debts, a shabby house in Berkeley Square and his country seat, Ockley Abbey, left to rats, ruin and rust, was to tax all Jemima's resourcefulness. Although she saves the Viscount from prison, discovers the surprising secret of the Abbey, and fills her home with laughter, Jemima must run away yet again before the Viscount's lips holds hers demandingly and possessively, enveloping her in an emotion that was beyond words.
