Passionate Impropriety R S Haspiel

In an era defined by strict morality, where lines were drawn to mark acceptable boundaries for men and women, Lady Eleanor Heddington crossed them with such tenacity and expertise that the entire British Empire profited from her victories and praised her success. But Eleanor's true persona was cloaked in a cape of secrecy, known to no one but her and her brother and holding her a prisoner of her own success in Victorian culture. Properly stationed within the countryside Manor, the reclusive Lady Heddington supposedly lived a quiet life. A random encounter flings open the doors to her self- imposed prison. For Lady Eleanor Heddington, the vision of Professor Rebecca Almonte ignites her spirit, as though seeing oneself in a mirror, and needing to capture that vision and keep it forever in order to be whole. Through a series of personal perils and trials, Eleanor and Rebecca become joined to one another.
