The Silver Nightingale — Sylvia Thorpe

SARAH WAS THE QUIET ONE...

When Lord Chayle proposed marriage to Sarah Lorymer, no one was more surprised than Sarah herself. It was a brilliant match. None of her family had ever expected her to achieve more than a respectable marriage, if that. Why had Justin Chayle proposed? Was it, as Sarah's mother suggested, because he wanted a grateful, submissive wife who would make no demand upon him? Or was it some secret known only to Justin?

As for Sarah, she had already fallen completely and hopelessly in love with him. But she knew better than to let him suspect it. She was prepared to play her role -- until Justin made her so angry she lost her temper and plunged them both into a strange adventure among even stranger companions.
