Breach of Promise
Elisabeth Fairchild
Stung by Love
The village of Chipping Camp den is abuzz with gossip
when the local honey merchant, Miss Susan Fairford, leases
her former home to a mysterious young gentleman. Miss
Fairford went from belle to beekeeper after her marriage to
a cad who absconded-after just one day-with her pride,
her fortune, and her faith in men.... Her new tenant, who goes by the name of Philip Stone, was
similarly bereft at the hands of his gold-digging fiancee,
whom he caught in an act of betrayal-on the very morning
of their wedding! Philip's angry flight from the scene of
his
humiliation brings him from Cornwall's rocky coast to
Fairford Manor, where he is captivated by his landlady's wit
and beauty-despite his resolution to steer clear of all
tempting females.
Only time will tell whether bachelor and beekeeper can
overcome their mutual mistrust in order to discover how
much they really have in common....
