Annabelle
TORN BETWEEN DUTY AND DESIRE

Annabelle Quennell -- voluptuous, copper-haired daughter of a poor country parson -- is delighted at the prospect of a glittering London season.  It is her Christian duty, explains her mother, to find a rich husband and help provide for her three sisters.  And even a gypsy's warning of death by air, fire, and water cannot dampen Annabelle's enthusiasm.

With her arrival in London begins a whirl of surprises.  Lady Emmaline, her strange chaperon, demands that Annabelle marry the oafish Captain MacDonald, despite the embarrassment he causes her.  Worse still, the young miss fears she is losing her heart to the elegant aristocrat Lord Sylvester Varleigh -- a man whose affections are clearly engaged elsewhere!
