Mount Royal Volume II by Mary Elizabeth Braddon audiobook.

Genre: romance

Mount Royal Volume II deepens Mary Elizabeth Braddon's Victorian tale of passion tested by conscience and circumstance. Angus Hamleigh, shaken by a dangerous illness and the shadow of his own past, receives a letter from his beloved Christabel Courtenay that asks for sacrifice instead of vows: she cannot marry him unless he makes amends for a wrong that society will never forget. As Angus weighs love against duty, Christabel returns to the sheltered grandeur of Mount Royal under the watchful devotion of her aunt, Mrs. Tregonell, only to find the old household schemes tightening into a trap. Mrs. Tregonell's son, Leonard, comes home with jealousy, charm, and a sense of entitlement to the woman he has always expected to claim, and his presence turns every conversation into a contest of pride and note-perfect manners. While visitors drift through the Cornish estate and gossip blooms into accusation, Braddon layers romance with unease: half-heard rumors, compromised reputations, and the hint that violence may follow where selfishness leads. In this volume, love is not a simple choice, but a trial that demands courage, secrecy, and a price no one wants to pay.
