Description
HIGH-SPIRITED, SHARP-WITTED, SHE PLAYED A GIRL'S DEFIANT GAME TO HIDE A WOMAN'S LOVING HEART.
SHE COULDN'T LET MARRIAGE SPELL THE END OF LOVE!
The ambitious Turvilles remembered little cousin Eugenia as a plump, vulgar, provincial girl--but she had come into a fortune and it was up to Frank or Aubrey to woo and win her. Mischievous, canny, grown into all extraordinary beauty at 16, Eugenia fathomed their scheme and determined not to disappoint hem. She had plans of her own. She would choose her own man...a man like Sir Peter Martyn. But when sophisticated, widowed Lucilla arrived from Regency London to reclaim Peter for herself, and Frank penetrated Eugenia's disguise to find he truly cared, her clever ruse threatened to backfire, costing her the only love that could bring her happiness.

But even before her arrival the enchanting Eugenia was secretly apprised of the family's scheme, and mischieviously resolved to fulfil their expectation of 'a vulgar Yorkshire Miss'. A masquerade which afforded her a deal of sport - until a third romantic suitor made his appearance...
