title: Passage to Love
author: Cartland, Barbara
description: Lady Imilda Bourne is as determined as she is lovely: she will marry as her heart commands, or not at all. But her Stepmama has other plans for Imilda, and traps the Marquis of Melverley, the most eligible--and notorious--bachelor of the Beau Monde. Imilda must f lee this cynical match, and where better to hide than Melverley Hall--the neglected manor of the Marquis himself! Now Imilda is out of the frying pan and into the fire, until she saves the Marquis's precious life, and discovers love. Together, the Marquis and his gallant rescuer will become one, in the transcendent union of two radiant and joyous souls!
