Taken at the Flood by Mary Elizabeth Braddon ~ Full Audiobook [thriller]

Taken at the Flood by Mary Elizabeth Braddon audiobook.

Genre: thriller

In Victorian England, Sylvia Carew has been raised in modest circumstances by a parish schoolmaster whose carefully guarded history has left her with more questions than security. Clever, beautiful, and fiercely determined to escape poverty, Sylvia finds herself torn between the steady devotion of Edmund Standen, a respectable young banker, and the glittering promise of rank, money, and a great house. When an unexpected path opens to a titled marriage, Sylvia seizes it, convinced she can outpace regret and remake herself as Lady Perriam. But society has a long memory, and Sylvia's new life comes with watchful eyes: anxious relatives, a hard-headed family adviser, and neighbors eager to turn rumor into scandal. As old affections flare back to life and buried facts begin to surface, Sylvia is forced into ever riskier bargains to protect her position and her child. Driven by ambition as much as love, she must decide how far she will go to keep what she has gained - and what it will cost when the tide of consequences turns.
