A Lady of Fashion — Rebecca Baldwin

A DARING YOUNG WIDOW

Lord Wellford had left his young widowed bride a veritable fortune with which she lived life as she pleased. Now the dowager Baroness Wellford was shocking fashionable society -- not only was her smart, stylish dressing a bit too fast, but she had taken up with a dashingly handsome -- and decidedly younger -- military hero.

A BEGUILING GENTLEMAN

Their scandalous affair was interrupted by the appearance of Nicholas Chance, a childhood beau who was deemed a suitable husband for Lady Wellford's niece. The elegant Mr. Chance infuriated Lady Wellford with his contrary ways; the sooner he married her niece, the better. Yet though his smile mocked her, Chance's heart was true and he staged a tricky ruse to capture Lady Wellford's love forever.
