A Scheme for Love
Vincent, Joan
"Present the Doll in Red to my solicitor within six months or forfeit all rights to Bartone Hollows and to my fortune." Wherever would a shy young country-bred widow begin her search? The doll was nowhere to be found. And would Mathilda have begun at all had she known where it would take her? The trail led to London with its operas, soires, balls, and wicked, wicked ways. There was dashing Lord Kittridge Pennypiece. And brooding young Lord Bartone. How could she resist him? And yet she must! She must! What was the strange legacy Mathilda's husband had bequeathed her in return for their May-December marriage? Poverty? Riches? Or true love at last?
