"The Heart of a Woman" by Baroness Emmuska Orczy Orczy is a novel first published in 1911. Louise Harris leads a comfortable, predictable life as a well-bred English woman until her engagement to Luke de Mountford is threatened by an unexpected rival for his uncle's fortune. When the rival is found murdered, suspicion falls on Luke, who faces trial for his life. Louise must confront whether her love can withstand scandal, uncertainty, and the possibility of losing everything she once took for granted.
