| Plot Summary of The Innocent |
|---|
"The heroine is suddenly commanded to marry a stranger just days before taking her vows to become a nun, due to the suspicious death of her brother. Her deranged ex sister-in-law will stop at nothing to destroy her & she enlists the help of a man even more deranged & dangerous than she is. Classic good vs evil story. Not for the sexually conservative. (Just a warning!) Typical Bertrice Small."
Kim Mills, Resident Scholar
