The marriage agreement

by Margaret MacWilliams

His family had the class, hers the money. Everyone -- except Maria Templeton -- knew their marriage was a prearranged affair. — Only the threat of ruin could have led the Duke of Atherton to agree that Monty, his rakish, red-haired son, should woo and wed the American tycoon's daughter. From country house to glittering London halls on the eve of King Edward's coronation, the young lord would set his snares for Maria's heart. But the harsh, overheard words of others, the glimpse of a temptress trysting with her husband to be, soon set Maria on a vengeful course. Now Monty must teach the Marquess of Medford a lesson in the ways of treachery -- and love!
