Pippa
She was a willful girl, fleeing Ayleworth Hall, stern Aunt Emma, and her guardian, who was to arrive that very day with an eligible suitor in tow. Pippa would not be sold off, like baggage, to the highest bidder! But she did not get far before Lord Anthony Seymour-Croft overtook her. Nothing was what it had seemed. Suddenly she was not a penniless ward but heiress to a vast fortune! Suddenly she was swept from rural seclusion to the glittering social whirl at Bath! Suddenly she was an auburn-haired beauty attracting the most outrageous proposals. Pippa - Miss Phillipa Carnville--was no longer a child, but a woman longing for the one man who could be guardian of her bold, reckless heart.
