Description

With a price still hanging over John Tempest’s life, Overleigh turns from mourning into a net of hired danger, jealous rivals, and Diana’s fierce independence as love and inheritance pull harder than duty. Cholmondeley’s middle volume of passion, intrigue, and a family secret that keeps buying murder. The wager’s shadow lengthens across every room at Overleigh.

Author

Mary Cholmondeley (1859–1925) was English novelist of psychological depth. Born aristocratic, she explored Victorian women's constraints. Her breakthrough, "Red Pottage," depicted repression and greed. She portrayed claustrophobic domestic settings, blending mystery with realism. Unmarried, she channelled observation into fiction. Her work influenced feminist literature.
