Brighton Beauty — Marilyn Clay

Chelsea Grant hadn't planned to be a deceiver! She had been the prettiest -- and most penniless -- young lady at Miss Farringdon's Academy. Befriending spoiled Alayna Marchmont and telling her about a family scandal was a schoolgirl's naive mistake. Now, Alayna had blackmailed Chelsea into agreeing to an utterly outrageous scheme...to take Alayna's place and spend a dull month in the country with Alayna's elderly aunt.

The plan might have worked, but for one unforseen occurrence: the arrival of Lord Rathbone. Rathbone had sailed from Honduras to claim the bride who had been promised him, sight unseen: Miss Alayna Marchmont. And he wasn't disapointed; in fact, he was completely captivated by his fiancee. As for Chelsea, she was developing a powerful tendre for the handsome, if misled, nobleman. It was an affair of the heart that could lead to certain disaster...unless a resourceful Brighton beauty found a way to stop a foolish masquerade without losing a lord's love.

Hero: Lord Rutherford (Ford) Rathbone
Heroine: Chelsea Grant
