IT WAS WIDELY KNOWN THAT LADY SWEETBRIAR HAD A PAST
But her fiance Sir Avery cared not a whit. He wanted her anyway.
Lady Sweetbriar, known to her friends as Nikki, could not
help it that she constantly got herself into scrapes. For
instance, in a desperate attempt to keep the family jewels
(which rightfully should have gone to her stepson), she
involved her former lover, her stepdaughter-to-be, her
stepson and his jealous bride-to-be in a scandalous round of
amorous misunderstandings.
Now Nikki was terrified that Sir Avery would call the whole
thing off.
