Married By Proxy is a turbulent, yet relentlessly charming love story set in 1919, post WWI.

The lovely English Rose, Fenella Barrington, is alone and vulnerable since losing her loved ones in the Great War. Another war rages within her heart when she receives a marriage proposal from a complete stranger, on the other side of the world.

To be married in proxy, Fenella will not get to meet her husband until she is already legally married to him.

Terrified at the prospect, she is not sure whether to remain on British shores or to set sail for a remote farm in South Africa where a possible better life beckons.

A historical romance in the Jane Austen tradition, set is pastoral England.

Highly independent Perdita Ellison, a sworn spinster by choice, has fallen on hard times and is forced to work for a living. She finds solace, however, in her piano playing.

The well-meaning George Fairhurst, her lovelorn suitor, has helped her and her brother in their time of financial struggle. Feeling indebted to him, she reluctantly promises to marry him in a moment of pressured obligation.

When the long absent landlord, Roland Argyle, of Cedarwood Estate returns unexpectantly, Perdita finds herself drawn to the formidable landlord.

Ultimately, however, disaster strikes, banishing him from everything he loves to face a horrifying fate.

Will Perdita remain a willing spinster, after all?
