The first book in the Stately Scandals series, set in 1826, tells the story of Ellen Turner, a young heiress who disappears from her boarding school in the arms of Edward Wakefield, a rugged scoundrel. The pair are sighted in a carriage racing from Gretna Green to the Port of Dover, sparking a public debate about Ellen's virtue. In the ensuing court case, Ellen maintains a cool head until she discovers that Thomas Legh of Lyme Park, her handsome and charming neighbour, is judging the trial. Ellen faces a difficult choice: to pursue the husband of her dreams would mean risking everything, but when her reputation already lies in tatters, what has she to lose?

Inspired by the incredible true story of romance, subterfuge, and intrigue, "The Runaway Bride" will whisk you away on the escapade that was Lyme Park's greatest scandal. The Stately Scandals series is a brand new selection of incredible true stories, never before told in fiction, by Felicity York. Each novel follows one of the most rebellious women to have lived in the stately homes of 19th-century northern England. The next novel in the series, "The Quiet Wife: A Speke Hall Scandal," will be published in June 2024.
