The Sicilian Inheritance
A headstrong girl must save the man she loves from another woman's deceit

When Lavinia Lathbury goes to Sicily to visit her aunt and uncle, she believes her stay will be temporary. Then the shocking news arrives from England that her mother has married Lavinia's beau!

No longer welcome in her own home, Lavinia must choose her own fate. Her relatives offer to adopt her, but Lavinia's independent nature balks at such a solution.

A marriage proposal from charming Count Roberto is tempting, but Lavinia feels no thrill in his arms. Daniel Gannell, rumored heir to a profitable exporting business, is the one man who stirs her heart. But his attention has already been diverted by exotically beautiful Josette Rannard.

A raging epidemic, smugglers, an unexpected legacy, and a secret from Josette's past are among the many factors that will determine whether Lavinia will obtain her heart's desire.
