She was the beautiful daughter of a dirt-poor Alabama farmer. But Angela Sherrington had a dream: to love dashing Bradford Maitland, the handsome heir to magnificent Golden Oaks.

But scandal, cruelty and a shocking family secret threaten to tear apart two passionate hearts newly joined, imperilling a bold and forbidden romance too overpowering to deny.

He's the son of a rich land owner and she is a poor share crofter's daughter. She's loved him since she first met him. There's a lot going on, I think less would have been more in this story. This takes place during and at the end of the civil war. There's sibling rivalry, snobs, gutter trash. Mystery about why his father takes her under his wing. Jealousy's that lead to poor decisions. Skeevy white trash stalker seeking revenge and more!
Johanna does it again. I love this story.

11 year old farm girl, Angela Sherrington, falls in love with Bradford Maitland. The son of the gentleman who owns the land she lives on.
When Angela is 17, her father dies and Jacob Maitland brings her into his home to protect her and raise her. Angela and Brad meet again under less than perfect circumstances. He decides he must possess her.
This is one of the rare romance novels that people admit to their feelings, but of course there are obstacles and misunderstandings. This one is another great read.
Typical Lindsey historical. Poor girl - rich guy. Mistaken identity(ish). Quick read.
Good read... not my favorite from Johanna Lindsey but good.

Angela, una muchacha hermosa y audaz, sólo soñaba con ser amada por Bradford, el rico heredero. El padre de Bradford la había enviado a estudiar al norte del país, transformando a la rústica campesina en una joven dama. Tanto había cambiado ella desde la ultima vez que la viera Bradford, que cuando el azar los volvió a reunir - en la habitación de un burdel elegante- él no la reconoció. Desde la primera vez que ella se entregó a Bradford, él juró que jamás se apartaría de su ángel... hasta que crueles circunstancias se cruzaron en su destino y sobrevino la inevitable y dolorosa separación.
