Minor Bequest

KATHLEEN A. SHOESMITH In the summer of 1857, Venetia Warren travelled from Italy to England in order to make a new life with relatives not seen since childhood days. It appeared, however, that she was not to achieve this modest ambition. A near-accident and a seemingly motiveless theft, combined with the disappearance of her aunt, forced her to accept that she had an enemy. But who ? Offered aid and friendship by two very different gentlemen, Venetia was uncertain where to place her trust. Should she rely on a stranger who claimed kinship, or a less conventional Captain, scarred for life from the Crimean War? Above all, Venetia had to protect the child of tender years left in her care - her Minor Bequest - from the dangerous atmosphere * of the continental journey.
