An audiobook about being replaced by a widow against her will
Elinor, an impecunious noblewoman, is forced to accept a position as a governess in the countryside. However, there will be confusion: The carriage will take her to another mansion, where Lord Carlyon is expecting a woman who has promised to marry a debauched and indebted young man for a fee. When the mistake is explained, news arrives that the man in question has been badly injured in a fight, and the lord convinces Elinor to marry the dying man. Before the night is over, she is the widow of a man with a bad reputation and the mistress of a debt-ridden estate. Moreover, French agents are interested in the old mansion, as Ellinor's late husband was apparently involved in espionage.
