that could destroy it all...

Convinced none could ignore her disfigurement and truly cherish her, she proposes
a marriage of convenience to the charming and cryptic Captain Avebury. Despite her
budding feelings for the naval officer, she's petrified her own tawdry past could rip
everything apart. And when she conceives, Lady Catherine fears her skeletons will
spell exile for her and the unborn child...

Can Lady Catherine restore her name and secure her rightful destiny?
