| Summary: | "Left penniless after her parents' deaths, Meg Gillingham is in dire straits. Her cruel landlord threatens to turn her and her siblings out of their home unless she surrenders her young sister to his lechery. Reluctantly, she turns for help to her only legacy: a magic statue that grants wishes--but always at a price. Meg never expects the statue to bring her a marriage proposal, especially not from a handsome earl. She fears such a mismatch will certainly prove disastrous, yet has no choice but to accept. Meg comes to delight in her seductive husband, but her fears prove true when his dark secrets are revealed, putting her life at risk. Dare she risk believing in another kind of magic--love?"--P. [4] of cover. |
