The Innkeeper's Daughter by Bianca M. Schwarz (Central Avenue Publishing)

Eliza, innkeeper's daughter, suffers all kinds of violence by her stepfather. Finally, she manages to escape and gentleman Henry rescues her.

And Eliza knows that such kindness needs a payment; reasonable assumption in these days was - woman's body, no matter where she was born - in a mansion or in roadside inn. 

In the novel we find violence, sex, suspence and the victim is always the woman. Man is prince on a white horse or brute beyond measures. 

Eliza is not convincing character, sometimes she is confident and sometimes just young, immature being.

I have mixed feelings about the book.
