The Pendleton Secret by Agnes Forest

This was a strange love story, but it captured my attention. A secretary in this day an age would not be worth Catherine Pendleton's time. But it seems that Catherine has led a very sheltered life. Her father arranges a marriage to pay off a debt, but the secretary of the man brings his fears to Catherine because he is in love with her. It captured my attention, because I wasn't sure how the author was going come out of this one. The story is slow going at first, but pick up as we get to the climax. Lloyd flouted the rules of etiquette, but he was desperate to help Catherine from marrying Baron Bouchard.
