Opis

In the exclusive world of New York Society, Darcy Snow Statton s wealth and bloodline place her at the very top of the city s elite. Yet, for all her jewelry and dazzling ballroom gowns, Darcy has no freedom. Darcy s husband, Claude Statton, is a man of uncertain birth but enormous wealth, a man whose polished exterior belies his dark habits and the unspeakable plans he has for his wife. Darcy is a prisoner of Claude s Fifth Avenue mansion and she has sworn to escape or die trying. One snowy night, former Pinkerton agent Tavish Finn discovers Darcy attempting to flee. Though he s an acquaintance of Claude Statton, he has a way of extracting the truth from the gilded lies of the rich, and he knows shocking secrets about Darcy s husband. He knows that Darcy is suffocating in her rarefied prison, and in Tavish s eyes, Darcy sees a glimmer of hope and a blessed promise of freedom. The excitement and grandeur of America at the turn of the century provide a glittering backdrop for Blind Trust, a story of passage and growth, of cool danger and heated greed, and of the passionate struggle waged by one woman determined to break free of the chains of convention."
