A Marriageable Asset (Candlelight Regency #633)

by Ruth Gerber

Whey-faced, dumpy, and timid - a tiresome chit fresh from a French convent... So she appeared to Sylvester Vinton, Earl of Melcourt, the handsome bounder who came to claim her and take her to wife. Sent to France when her widowed father married a woman almost her age, Vanessa Charldon had escaped Paris in the throes of revolution and crossed the Channel disguised as a boy. Did her father mean to sell her now to the highest bidder? Would Sylvester marry her to have Shelburne Hall? The chalk-powder and frumpy wig hid a fiery, high-spirited beauty. She had not escaped one danger to fall prey to another. She would teach them what was fair in love and war!
