Pretences
By

Morris
“In 1815, five-year-old
Annabelle, who does not know who her parents are, arrives at boarding school
fluent in French and English. Separated from her nurse, with few memories of
her past, a shadow blights Annabelle’s life.
When high-spirited,
eighteen-year old Annabelle, who is financially dependent on her unknown
guardian, receives an order to marry a French baron more than twice her age,
she refuses.
Her life in danger,
Annabelle is saved by a heroic gentleman, who promises to help her discover her
identity. Yet, from then on, nothing is as it seems. To protect her captivating
champion, broken-hearted, she is forced to run away for the second time.
In spite of many false
pretences, even more determined to discover her parents’ identity, Annabelle
must find out who to trust. Her attempts to unravel the mystery of her birth,
lead to further danger, despair, unbearable anguish and even more false
pretences, until the only person, who has ever wanted to cherish her, reveals the startling truth,
and all’s well that ends well.”

Georgianne
Whitley’s beloved father and brothers died in the war against Napoleon
Bonaparte. While she is grieving for them, she must deal with her unpredictable
mother’s sorrow, and her younger sisters’ situation caused by it.
Georgianne’s
problems increase when the arrogant, wealthy but elderly Earl of Pennington,
proposes marriage to her for the sole purpose of being provided with an heir.
At first she is tempted by his proposal, but something is not quite right about
him. She rejects him not suspecting it will lead to unwelcome repercussions.
Once, Georgianne
had wanted to marry an army officer. Now, she decides never to marry ‘a
military man’ for fear he will be killed on the battlefield. However,
Georgianne still dreams of a happy marriage before unexpected violence forces
her to relinquish the chance to participate in a London Season sponsored by her
aunt.
Shocked and in
pain, Georgianne goes to the inn where her cousin Sarah’s step-brother, Major
Tarrant, is staying, while waiting for the blacksmith to return to the village
and shoe his horse. Recently, she has been reacquainted with Tarrant—whom she
knew when in the nursery—at the vicarage where Sarah lives with her husband
Reverend Stanton.
The war in the
Iberian Peninsula is nearly at an end so, after his older brother’s death,
Tarrant, who was wounded, returns to England where his father asks him to marry
and produce an heir.
To please his
father, Tarrant agrees to marry, but due to a personal tragedy he has decided
never to father a child.
When Georgianne,
arrives at the inn, quixotic Tarrant sympathises with her unhappy situation.
Moreover, he is shocked by the unforgivably brutal treatment she has suffered.
Full of
admiration for her beauty and courage Tarrant decides to help Georgianne.
