Mount Royal Volume II

Mary Elizabeth Braddon, the scandalous queen of Victorian sensation fiction, returns to the intoxicating world of Mount Royal where secrets fester like wounds beneath velvet gowns. This sequel plunges deeper into a world of forbidden passion, dangerous liaisons, and the terrible price paid for those who dare to transgress society's ironclad rules. Hearts beat faster in candlelit parlors while letters with broken seals pass between trembling hands. Someone at Mount Royal harbors a past they would kill to keep hidden, and the truth hungers for daylight. Braddon writes with the electrifying knowledge that a woman's reputation is armor and weapon both, and in this world, even love can be murder. For readers who crave the Gothic thrills of Brontë with an added layer of dangerous, delicious immorality.
