Rebecca's Refusal

When Joshua Kelling proposes to Miss Rebecca Fossington, she refuses him. For although he might have compromised her, she has no intention of marrying him. But meeting him again in London comes as a shock. Even worse is discovering that her grandfather has made them joint owners of a cotton mill. Now she can no longer avoid him - or her feelings for him, which grow everyday. Mysterious accidents follow, culminating in an attempt to burn down the mill. Who is responsible and can he be apprehended? And, even then, will Joshua ever propose to Rebecca again? A delightful Regency novel set against a backdrop of glittering balls, rebellious Luddites and London's Frost Fair.
