A Dreadful Temptation; Or, a Young Wife's Ambition
A Dreadful Temptation; Or, a Young Wife's Ambition is a late 19th-century novel by Alex. McVeigh, Mrs. Miller. It follows Xenie Carroll, a young woman who marries the wealthy but elderly John St. John, driven by ambition rather than love. As she grapples with her feelings of resentment towards her past love, Howard Templeton, the story delves into themes of betrayal and revenge, highlighting the complexities of man-woman relationships and the pursuit of power in a marriage that offers neither freedom nor happiness.
