Publisher's Summary

"If I could have foreseen the future, I would have married the first man who asked me!"

Tongues were set wagging when Elizabeth Markham's glamorous young parents were killed, sinking their only child to the unspeakable class of poor relation. Forced to live with her cruel, miserly uncle Julius, Elizabeth is forbidden to partake in the season's festivities. Marriage is her only escape, and she enacts a daring plan to trick her way into the Duke of Dunster's exclusive house party, to snare one of the eligible dandies sure to dance attendance on her.

Her plan proceeds swimmingly, as Elizabeth flirts with all but the arrogant Lord Charles Lufford, considered to be quite a catch. She ignores him thoroughly until her uncle discovers her deception and Charles saves her - by announcing their engagement!

But Elizabeth's troubles are far from over, for in her absence she had come into an inheritance. And her uncle, along with one other sinister party would rather see her perish than receive it.

No evidence of flirting

Not her best work. Weak story altogether with lots of loose ends, and absolutely no flirting. But the woman is made to believe the label. In a post Me Too era this should be scraped from the shelves. I just can't even put the words together to express how wrong this seemingly innocent story is. Wolf in sheep's clothing.

I've heard the narrator before, and this also is not her best work.

distracting narration

very odd, slow speaking at 1.00 speed with unnecessarily over emphasized pronunciation, hard to listen to
