    About this ebook

    Eliza, lady-in-waiting to Lady Jane Braggot, is sent to work in the household of the noblewoman's brother-in-law, Sir Richard. Lady Jane suspects Sir Richard of being involved in a treason plot.

    Upon arrival at Braggot Park, Eliza encounters Sir Richard's son, Lorenzo, and swiftly falls under his spell.

    With time, Eliza learns that all is not as it seems at Braggot Park and, when her liaison with Lorenzo is discovered by Lady Jane, she faces a dilemma: should she obey Lorenzo's wish that she keep his secret or redeem herself by telling Sir Richard the truth about the goings on in Braggot Park?

    A short, sensual romance, set in Elizabethan England.

    "Very well-written and fast-paced," (4-star Review, Feb '14).
    "An entertaining read," (4-star review).

      Chapter 1

      Do not be alarmed, Eliza, that we have called you here to speak with us.

      You have distinguished yourself in our service.

      "And for that reason it is you we now ask to undertake a role of great importance."

      Eliza kept her eyes fixed firmly on the floor as she listened to the words of her employers, Sir Harry Braggot and his lady-wife, Jane.

      You will be aware, Sir Harry continued, that I have an older brother, Sir Richard, who holds the family seat at Braggot Park. We would ask that you transfer your services to my brother’s household.

      We are concerned, Eliza, that, following the death of his wife, Maria, his house grows– Lady Jane hesitated as she searched for the best word to describe it, "–unruly."

      We would have you enter my brother’s household in order that we may gain a better insight into the goings-on at Braggot Park, Sir Harry elaborated.

      "Please do not misunderstand us, Eliza; we are not asking you to spy on Richard. Our interest stems out of concern for his wellbeing and for the reputation of the family name," Lady Jane was eager to add.

      Do you have any questions, Eliza? Sir Harry asked.

      "If I might be so bold, Sir, when Lady Jane says unruly–"

      You need not know the precise nature of our concerns, child, Sir Harry explained. Suffice to say, you’ll have heard, no doubt, rumour of plots to undermine our good Queen’s authority. Sir Harry paused.

      Yes Sir, Eliza said.

      We are aware that our brother’s name has been implicated–

      There can be no question of wrong-doing on his part, Eliza, Lady Jane stressed. But we do fear that some unwholesome influence may have taken advantage of his good nature in his time of weakness.

      Sir Richard still grieves the loss of his wife, Sir Harry
