Love and Lady Lovelace
(1982)(The tenth book in the Regency Royal series)
(The eighth book in the Changing Fortunes series)
A novel by Marion Chesney
When young widow Lady Lovelace realized she had been swindled to near-bankruptcy by her curmudgeonly cousin, she knew she would have to marry again for money.
These were the very thoughts of Lord Philip, who had nothing between him and destitution but his small army pension. And so these two attractive fortune-hunters somehow found each other and before long, popped into marriage - and into the bridal chamber - only to discover they were both virtually penniless.
What a diabolical situation. What would they do now?
What could be more engaging than the women who rise from the commoner classes and minor nobility to triumph in the unforgiving society of Regency Period London. Read about women who have lost their fortunes, country girls at their first season, and new wives who can’t resist temptation in the nine titles of the Changing Fortunes Collection.
