Runaway Scandal

Lady Octavia Seldon has been kept close to home "for her own good" and "just because" for too many years. She answers a false advertisement for a governess position and escapes. When she is rescued by the notorious roue Dominic Thornton, Marquis of Brightwood, the Thornton family blessing takes hold. The two fall deeply in love and are wed. Scandalously, they forget to inform friends and relatives. Still more scandalous, Tavie, as she prefers to be called, is the daughter of a twenty-five-year-old scandal, compounding the problem. With the ton outraged and Dominic's behavior seemingly beyond forgiveness, spinster sisters Elf and Ally Thornton rush to the aid of their favorite relative. But suddenly more than scandal is involved when the young couple begins experiencing a series of what might be fatal accidents. Publisher Note: Previously released elsewhere, now revised.
