A Lady of Fortune
The lovely Lady Danby had finally come out of mourning to take the town by storm with her quick wit, her charming manner and her fresh faced beauty. In fact, the ebony-haired widow could hardly believe her own popularity for just weeks before she'd been Violet Carlton, country-bred miss and well-meaning sister of the real Lady Danby, a shy and retiring widow who feared the powerful in-laws she'd never met. And so Violet had boldly set out to claim her sister's rightful due, intending to return to the country once she'd succeeded. But Violet hadn't counted on the lure of London, nor the rush of excitement she felt in the arms of Lord Hartford, a dangerously handsome in-law who infuriated her with his questions... and thrilled her with his kisses. And as Hartford came closer to coaxing the truth from her lips, Violet wondered how much longer she could play at her game before she lost the Danby inheritance--and her own heart!
