Midnight Proposal

Veronica Glendalion thinks that she has only one chance in a thousand that the Earl of Westal will agree to her proposal. But as her aunt assures her, one chance in a thousand is better than the terrible fate that awaits her. The evil Earl of Callincant has vowed Veronica will be his bride, by force if she will not comply. And as he controls Veronica's father by providing for her father's addictions, time is running out for her. Once the earl forces Veronica into marriage and takes her to his country estate, she will be his prisoner and she will never again be allowed to see her dear aunt and cousin. From that day forth, her life will be a misery of pain and despair. She may have gained a few days while the earl and her father are away at the earl's estate in Sheffield, dealing with an emergency, but when they come back, Veronica's time will be up. Unless by a miracle the Earl of Westal, whom she knew as a child, will agree to her proposal... At the masquerade ball.
