Cordelia Bentham agrees to marry Sir Cyril Montgomery, providing he settles her father’s debts. She doubts her decision the minute she sets eyes on Sir Cyril – a fat, cruel and drunken dolt who has no intention of making good on his promises to her father, but every intention of anticipating his wedding vows.
Cordelia finds an unlikely ally in Sir Cyril’s cousin, Lord Angus Dryden. They join forces to discover the truth behind Sir Cyril’s latest suspicious investment scheme, and struggle to ignore the growing attraction that springs up between them. Shocked by revelations that threaten Cordelia’s life, can Angus find an honourable way to rescue her from a dangerous mésalliance before Sir Cyril attempts to cover his tracks by violent and deadly means…

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

I’m a British author, brought up on the Isle of Wight and share my life with a handsome rescued Spanish Podenco called Markos.

I’ve had over one hundred books published, ranging from Regency romance, (my first love), to contemporary women’s fiction and marine crime mysteries.

When not writing I walk miles, make half-hearted attempts to retain flexibility by attending yoga classes, read other people’s tomes…oh, and I’m on a one woman mission to keep the wine trade profitable!

    5.0 out of 5 stars Well worth a read.
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on January 26, 2020
    I enjoy the writing of this Author although I wasn’t sure I would like this book when I read the blurb but it surprised me how much it hooked me when I starting reading.Loved all the mystery and the banter between the characters especially the main two and apart from the mums who I felt could do with a slap so it shows how the writer proclaimed them.
    It had all I liked in a book mystery ........ wont give the game away and love of course.
    The only criticism is I would of like a bit more on the part were the author touch on dead bodies which left me a bit confused as it didn’t say although maybe cause no one knew.

    Reviewed in Italy on May 31, 2019
    The crisp style of this author and series of suspenseful twists lend some life to an otherwise grim tale of an undistinguished family with a weak father, an extravagant and selfish mother and numerous progeny, in need of a financial bailout. Cordelia, the only daughter of age, becomes the hapless pawn in a sordid contract calling for her speedy marriage to a widower of dubious honesty whose repulsive aspect and lecherous ways are ignored by his joyless, domineering mother, reigning over their Gothic mansion. The characters come across as one-sided, and interplay is often predictable.

    I enjoyed this book very much. All the intrigue and drama so well written characters, good and wicked, who jumped off the page. I have recently discovered Wendy Soliman’s books and am eagerly reading through her collection

    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on July 1, 2019
    Enjoyable light romance. Historical details obviously well researched. Even though I knew it would all end well could not put it down till I’d finished!
