LEONORA (Fawcett Crest Book)
Both Leonora and her mother, Lady Constance, knew that there would never be many suitors for her; a girl not particularly beautiful, with no money, who had not even been presented at Court. A little while ago, she had seemed quite prepared to marry Sir Mark Finchley. Now she had had the presumption to change her mind. Of course, Lady Constance didn’t know about the time when Leonora, escorted by Sir Mark, had been held up by a highwayman—the gallant and mysterious Black Gentleman. And how the contrast between the two had caused Leonora to vow to remain single, rather than marry Sir Mark.A brave vow, for at that time she had had no way of knowing that she would ever meet the Black Gentleman again, and in very different circumstances.
