Lady Emily's Escape (House of Catesby #1)
Sunny Brooks
Though grown, nothing could have prepared the children of the House of Catesby for their father’s untimely passing. With the title of Lord Catesby suddenly thrust upon Francis, the eldest son is in a daze between with his grief and his newfound responsibility. While normally level-headed and compassionate, the overwhelm of assuming ownership of the estate leaves Francis deaf to the surprising pleads of his sister, Emily.
Lady Emily Thurston desperately needs her brother’s help to escape from her vicious husband, Victor. Realizing that she would rather face social banishment than live any longer under her husband’s increasingly tyrannical rule, she makes her plea…only to find herself sent back into Victor’s punishing embrace. After mustering all her strength to entrust Francis with the truth of her life away from home, she must now confront the reality that she will live in her own private hell forever.
When Lord Thomas Markham comes to visit his friend, Francis, he expects to help with the transition of the estate. Nothing in his wildest dreams could have prepared him for the tumultuous ride he is about to embark on. When he stumbles upon Lady Emily’s secret, he is not only aghast at the news, but also at Francis’s failure to act. Not knowing what stirs his decision, he impulsively takes on the responsibility of rescuing a lady who he hardly knows.
With his unexpected arrival, Emily is unsure as to Lord Markham’s intentions. However, she quickly realizes that not only is she fiercely drawn to him, but he may be her only hope of getting out.
Will Lady Emily and Lord Markham be able to find a way to escape together? Or will Victor use everything in his power to keep them apart?
