About this ebook
The innocent but independent-minded Nanda Brookenham, being groomed as a potential bride by her less than sympathetic parents, is saved from the scheming circle of people around her by an elderly bachelor who rescues her out of loyalty to her grandmother. A sense of danger haunts this spellbinding story of a virtuous girl and the English marriage market.
