The Elsingham Portrait by Elizabeth Chater

Confronted with jail, Angela's only hope is Richard Bennet, a dashing young farmer who not only believes in her innocence, but is captured by her beauty.A DELICATE SITUATIONThalia Temple, dimple faced and lovely, sometimes has more pride than sense. On her journey, she is duped by a fellow traveler, Zalie, and as a result is accused of stealing jewels belonging to Lord Merrel. When Angela's mother suddenly dies, her only recourse is to run away. He even promises Angela's hand to his nephew, a miserable and unappealing lad though Giles has successfully charmed the entire county into thinking otherwise. Her mother hastily marries the seemingly charming Giles Loring, but soon after the nuptials his violent and brutal personality surfaces. Angela Swann lost her father when she was a teenager, and the Swanholme estate is left in the hands of her overwhelmed and frail mother Marian. Kathryn finds herself confronted by the arrogant yet disturbingly handsome husband of Lady Elsingham, Lord John, all the while thrust into an old world that thinks her mad when she tries to explain what's happening in the 'colonies.' How will she escape being sent to Bedlam before she can get back to her old life?ANGELALady Elsingham and Richard Bennet from 'The Elsingham Portrait' return in 'Angela,' but this time Richard has his eyes on another.

Suddenly, she's transported from a modern day metropolis to an eighteenth century English world of luxury and decadence-now occupying the body of the woman in the portrait, Lady Nadine Elsingham.
