Miss Milton Speaks Her Mind

Lovely Jane Milton was seen as a charity case, even though her wealthy relatives on the Denby estate couldn't manage without her. Her one joy was her cousin's son, Andrew, whom she had cared for since his parents' death, and loved as her own. But cruel rumors about Andrew's true parentage put his inheritance in jeopardy and taxed both their spirits.

Then Scipio Butterworth offered to tutor the young boy--and the friendship between Jane and the handsome mill owner began to blossom into something more. When Jane and Andrew were invited to Scipio's family home for Christmas, Jane received a tantalizing glimpse of how wonderful life could be with this kind and charming man. But true happiness was impossible between them. Miss Milton harbored secrets that no man could hear--and remain in love. Unless, of course, the mill owner had a scandalous secret of his own.
