Beguiling the Barrister

Beguiling the Barrister By Wendy Soliman Book two of The Forsters. England, 1814 Flick—more properly known as Lady Felicity Forster—was twelve when she decided she was going to marry her handsome neighbor Darius Grantley. Now, embarking on her second season, she’s no nearer to that lofty ambition. She commits to making Darius fall in love with her, if only he’d take a break from pleading the case of the common criminal as a barrister at the Old Bailey. 

Darius adores the lovely, high-spirited younger sister of the Marquess of Denby, but he’s all too aware that Flick is far above him in social status, not to mention fortune. Winning the high-profile Cuthbert case will earn him a promised appointment to King’s Counsel and just enough income to provide a home for his well-born lady. But the cards are stacked against him. Not only do the newspapers trumpet his clients’ guilt, but a powerful peer bribes the witnesses and threatens Flick unless Darius sabotages his own case.
