Love's Betrayal — Liza O'Connor

When Amy and her friend Domnika arrive in London, she discovers her guardian, Nicolas, under the thrall of his ‘perfect' wife and neither is happy she has come. The only person who seems happy with her arrival is the handsome valet, Antonio, who turns out to be far more than a servant. Needing to escape her guardian's care, Amy and Dominka take refuge at a fellow schoolmate's home, Antonio follows as one of her protectors and becomes the first of many admirers that vie for her hand.
All the while, Nicolas continues to prove he is not the fine fellow her uncle had believed.
