The Belchamber Scandal

When a family disaster overwhelmed Amelia Belchamber and obliged her to make a new life for herself as a governess in the north of England, she was only doing what countless gentlewomen in her desperate position had done before. But as a young woman of spirit and good education she was better placed than most of them to give value to her employer, and Staneley Hoggett, manufacturer of cottons and canvases, was a man who recognised a good bargain.
Her troubles began when she is left alone to cope with no less than eight wayward Hoggett offspring, unsupported in any way by the weak and foolish Mrs Hoggett, and pursued by the odious tutor, Mr Bethune, whose unpleasant approaches are only slightly less disturbing than the steadfast hatred of the crippled son of the house, Albert.
Having clawed herself back from one disaster, Amelia is to find herself the innocent victim of a total miscarriage of justice, but not before a ray of light appears on her desolate horizon and an amazing unorthodox knight in less than shining armour has girded himself to ride to her rescue
