Practice to Deceive by Patricia Veryan
After the loss of her father and brother in the Battle of Culloden in 1746, Penelope Montgomery finds herself a virtual prisoner in her own home, at the mercy of her cruel uncle and his vile wife. When her uncle announces her betrothal to his crony, the odious Roland Otton, she is very upset. Then she finds a chance for rescue from an unexpected source when she stumbles upon her uncle and Otton torturing a fugitive Jacobite--who Penelope realizes is her childhood friend Quentin Chandler. Desperate to save both Quentin and herself from the evil pair, she plans an escape that leads to a breathtaking journey across England.
