A single lady in possession of a good fortune must be in
want of a suitor
Margaret de Lacey has accepted her unmarried state with
dignity, if not delight. She had no suitors when she was
young and starry-eyed, though regrettably poor, and it’s
unlikely any man will court her now that she’s older,
wiser, and still just as penniless. Until, that is, her
brother unexpectedly inherits the dukedom of Durham and
settles an enormous dowry on her, making her the most
eligible heiress in town.
No gentleman in London is more in need of a wealthy bride
than Rhys Corwen, Earl of Dowling. He contrives an
introduction to Margaret because of her dowry, but she
swiftly sets him right: no fortune hunter will win her
heart or her hand. Far from put off, Rhys is intrigued.
Interested. Entranced. And soon the only thing he needs
more than Margaret’s fortune…is her love.
