The Faun's Folly
Sandra Heath
Plain, practical Anne Willow by would become mistress of
one of the grandest Palladian houses in England when she
married Gervase Mowbray, the new Duke of Wroxford,
whom she had never met. His late father made the
betrothal a condition of his wastrel son's inheritance; for
Anne, it assured her family of keeping their home on the
duke's estate. But Anne secretly dreaded the loveless
marriage. So did Gervase, who, utterly appalled, fled
England on an Italian holiday. Upon his return, Gervase was a changed man. No one
dreamed that, addled by wine, the arrogant heir had run
afoul of the god Bacchus himself. Only Anne could lift the
enchanted spell that now held Gervase captive. All she
had to do was declare her love for him-without knowing
his identity. With a mischievous faun to keep tabs on him,
a desperate Gervase sets out to win Anne's heart in a
manner a-sparkle with merriment and moonbeams. ..and
the transforming power of love.
