The New Abelard: A Romance, Volume 2 (of 3)

Ambrose Bradley built his new church on radical sermons and even more radical charm, and now the whole of respectable England whispers about him. He loves Alma Craik. Her cousin George Craik loves her too, with a jealousy that has curdled into obsession. As past relationships surface to complicate the present, Volume 2 plunges into the wreckage of these tangled hearts. The clash between Bradley's new ideologies and the old order isn't merely theological; it's personal, devastating, and dangerously seductive. Alma stands at the center of a storm she cannot control, and the men who claim to worship her have never seemed more like enemies. This is Victorian passion stripped of its gloves: fierce, doomed, and utterly compelling.
