Arian by Iris Gower

Arian was both spirited and
unconventional, often shocking the residents of World’s End with her wild
behavior. After making a name for herself in the leather and shoe-making
trade, it began to look as though all her money would be lost. In
desperation, Arian set out for France in the hopes of salvaging her
investment. Falling foul of the law in France, Arian was given a grim
alternative to prison—a loveless marriage with a man she despised.
