Lady in White

When Queen Elizabeth Tudor commands the marriage of Lady Arabella Purfoy to the elusive Squire Nicholas Hollier -- a man known at court only through whispered rumors and troubling hearsay -- Arabella can but agree. She has neither family nor allies to protect her. Arabella must place her fortune, family and even her body into the care of handsome Master James Wyatt, Squire Nicholas's agent. Until Master James Wyatt meets the beautiful Lady Purfoy, he has never doubted his loyalty to Squire Nicholas or his dislike for England 's queen, especially after Elizabeth forces this unwanted marriage onto Nicholas. Jamie doesn't expect that the forced union will drive him ever closer to Arabella until his passions flame and his loyalties are torn in twain. The time will come when he must choose between the squire who is also his dearest friend and the woman who owns his heart.
