A Good Story
I enjoyed this story. There is so much intrigue that it makes it hard to keep track of it all. Lady Eliza's brother forced her to marry Lord Tristan. On the surface that seemed a normal arrangement within families however, nothing about this marriage was normal. There was deceit, forgery, conspiracy, fraudulent land deals and coercion. All of which made it difficult for Tristan and Eliza to be safe and happy. Will they be able to seek out the truth before it is too late? Read on and enjoy.
