Love in Disguise

Love in Disguise, written by Anneka Walker, is the first tale of Ms. Walker that I have read.  This story will tell you about life of Marion Watt and her journey through the crazy " marriage market" of the 1800's in London, England!

This is an interesting tale to follow as  Marion attempts to find her place in this world.  Definitely a tale not to be missed!
