It takes a gold-digger to know one in this Regency romance by theNew York Timesbestselling author of the Hamish Macbeth mysteries.When young widow Lady Lovelace realizes she has been swindled to near-bankruptcy by her curmudgeonly cousin, she knows she will have to marry again for money. These are the very thoughts of Lord Philip, who has nothing between him and destitution but his small army pension. And so, these two attractive fortune-hunters somehow find each other and before long, pop into marriageand into the bridal chamberonly to discover they were both virtually penniless. What a diabolical situation. What would they do now?ABOUT THE COLLECTION What could be more engaging than the women who rise from the commoner classes and minor nobility to triumph in the unforgiving high society of London.
