Blind Trust

In the exclusive world of New York Society, Darcy Snow Stattons wealth and bloodline place her at the very top of the citys elite. Yet, for all her jewelry and dazzling ballroom gowns, Darcy has no freedom. Darcys 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 Claudes 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 hes 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 Darcys husband. He knows that Darcy is suffocating in her rarefied prison, and in Tavishs eyes, Darcy sees a glimmer of hopeand 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.
