Passion and Propriety Elina I Troshin-Morozov

Thrown into an entirely unfamiliar world of class and race, caught in the tyrannical grip of suffocating English propriety, and set apart by wholly nonconformist passions of heart, the now orphaned Emilie Forthyn must fend for herself in the midst of cruel intentions, cold relations, and calculated enmity. She must stand alone upon heart-deep convictions about what it means to be human amidst slave-trading noblemen and repressive noblewomen. When an unexpected friend makes an entrance, he seems like the perfect ally with whom to fight these battles; resurrecting the pleasantest memories of days' past and awakening the sweetest longings of heart, however, he quickly becomes much more. When another determines to win her hand, Emilie must choose the life she wants. Will love truly lead her? Will a mysterious secret destroy her? Will unexpected betrayal demolish all hope for a happy ending? And will her new life amongst the nobles of England-and amongst its servants and slaves-lead to her happily ever after? New friends in unexpected places, victories grander than time itself, and love refined by fire characterize the story of Emilie Forthyn, a heroine in her own right. Read on to discover the power of a heart of Passion and Propriety.
