The Miser's Sister
A LADY IN LOVE...

Lovely Lady Pendcrrie was the daughter of an earl... and well aware of the drawbacks of a noble birth. First, there was the business of her parents' estate, now firmly in the hands of her skinflint brother Godfrey. Then, there was the band of cutthroats who hoped to ransom her for a goodly price. Finally, there was the respectful distance her gallant and good-looking rescuer, Oliver Pardoe, insisted on preserving. Untitled and from a family whose great wealth came from trade, Oliver refused to even consider a match between himself and aristocratic-born Ruth Pendcrrie.

Ruth knew this for shallow nonsense. Though all of society would think theirs a shocking mesalliance, she was losing her heart to the brave and brilliant man who had saved her life. It would take a little time, not to mention some delightful and dangerous adventures, before she would know if her noble birth could stand in the way of their love.
