Royal Conspiracy
Cummings, Monette
AN HEIRESS IN DISTRESS

The late Corlinda Corville had always run other people's affairs; even death could not stop her. Corlinda had invited her grandniece, Lynn Marston, to visit England. But when the lovely American arrived, she found that her great-aunt had died and left her a sizable bequest: a fabulous estate, a phenomenal fortune, and abundant jewelry, which included the royal Stuart necklace. All would be hers, provided she marry one of three cousins: aristocratic Anthony, stylish Rollin or sensitive Myles. Each was dashing after his own fashion; each conspired to win her hand; and, to Lynn's dismay, one kept trying to do her in for a share in the fortune. But which one? It was an impossible situation: scrappy Lynn was stranded under the same roof with a would-be villain. She would not, could not, be frightened away...nor would she marry simply to acquire wealth. And so she resolved to outwit her dastardly pursuer, never dreaming that by doing so she would lose her heart, win a beau, and uncover an ancient family secret!
