Arrangement

A widow’s quiet life is turned upside down when an unexpected inheritance drags her and her son into the glittering, treacherous world of the aristocracy—where love, secrets, and survival collide in a tale that proves courage and motherhood can defy even the strictest social rules.

Dear Reader:

I am afraid I am about to do something exceedingly shocking. My adventure began when I came to the Earl of Savile’s castle for the reading of George Devane’s will, of which the earl is the executor.

I had every intention of refusing George’s blood money, but he foiled me by leaving it to my young son, Nicky. Because I am a young widow, this bequest has subjected me to a great deal of unpleasant gossip.

Now I find that I am in the power of the most exciting man I have ever met, a man whose very presence makes me weak, a man who could very well be my ruination.

Remember me in your prayers, as I shall need them.

(Mrs.) Gail Saunders
