The Absent Wife
Sandra Heath

A proper young lady must hide her love for a lord who has even more to hide.

MAN OF MYSTERIES

Miss Roslyn Meredith had so many questions about Lord James Atherton. Why had this handsome, charming, sensitive aristocrat married the notorious Vanessa, society's most heartless and most scheming beauty? And what had happened to her? Had she vanished off the face of the earth? And now, why did Atherton invite Roslyn and her improvident portrait-painter father to his secluded estate in Foxcombe?

But one question overshadowed all others. Could Roslyn trust this man who had no right to make her lose her heart to him - and could she trust herself. ..?
