Duchess of Wrexe

At the turn of the twentieth century, Rachel must make an impossible choice: the passionate but dangerous Francis Breton, her disowned cousin, or the reliable but dull Roddy Seddon, a man of wealth and standing. She chooses safety. She chooses Roddy. But marriage to a man she does not love proves its own kind of prison, and when Francis reenters her life, Rachel finds herself caught between duty and desire once again. Looming over every decision is the Duchess of Wrexe, her iron-willed grandmother, whose grip on the family is absolute and whose favor determines everything. Set against the glittering surface of London society, this is a novel about the costs of choosing correctly, and the devastating freedom of choosing too late. A serious accident is about to change everything.
