About Glorious Angel

She was the beautiful daughter of a dirt-poor Alabama farmer. But Angela Sherrington, 21, had a dream: to love dashing Bradford Maitland, the 30 year old handsome heir to magnificent Golden Oaks. In the satin boudoir of a Yankee bordello, Angela's prayers are answered in the loving arms of the man she lived for. But scandal, cruelty and a shocking family secret threaten to tear apart two passionate hearts newly joined, imperilling a bold and forbidden romance too overpowering to deny.
