The Second Husband (U)

by Sheila Bishop

Young Mary Dacre, impoverished when she was widowed, had no choice but to marry again. Her friends assured her that the arranged marriage to handsome and distinguished Edward Graham would make her the object of envy to other women. Mary was willing to share a new life with Edward, even to love him, but he spurned her for the clandestine intrigues at Court. Finally, desperate for his love, she made a dramatic bid to change her destiny, showing a flair for rebellion and romantic stratagems that far surpassed even the cunning Edward Graham.
