When that doesn’t work, she crosses paths with Elliot, a nobleman in need of a wife and heir by his fast-approaching 30th birthday, or else his inheritance will go to his scheming cousin Clarence. What will Brandy do next? Find out in this enticing historical romance set in nineteenth-century England.
