The Trespasser, Volume 3
Gaston Belward is everything an English gentleman should be: a Member of Parliament, heir to ancient lands, bound by duty and expectation. But when he walks into his family's solicitor's office and touches documents that connect him to a wilder inheritance, something stirs in him that respectable mornings cannot name. The past reaches forward through yellowed paper, stirring conflicting emotions in a man who has played his role perfectly but wonders if he was meant for something less conventional, more dangerous. Two women await his decision: one represents the ordered world of duty, the other the passionate and unknown. The Trespasser is a novel about the boundaries we cross in becoming ourselves, and the price of living in a heritage we never chose. Parker captures with sharp precision the cage of honor and the wild thing that beats against it.
