The Scholar's Fierce Wife

Crystal Lowell married Julian Sheridan. Julian was away, leaving children Leo and Nora with Mrs. Jennings, who mistreated them. Crystal slapped a maidservant, thwarted Mrs. Jennings's schemes, and won over Leo and Nora. Julian returned and gave Crystal all property deeds: "Everything I own will have only your name on it. All of this, and me. Are you willing to take it?" Crystal realized Julian had planned everything; they built a family life.
