Angela
"I AM ANGELA SWANN, OF SWANHOLM IN CORNWALL. I AM RUNNING AWAY FROM MY STEPFATHER WHO PLANNED TO MARRY ME TO HIS NEPHEW"

Angela explained all this to the sturdily handsome young farmer who had rescued her. Richard Bennet was a kind man, and he could clearly see the frightened girl was none of the things her wicked stepfather accused her of.

And so he took her into his home -- and into his heart.

But Angela's past was churning new mischief for her  --  and her benefactor.
