"IF ONLY MEN WERE HONEST WHEN THEY PROPOSED TO ME!" HARRIET CRIED. "IF ONLY ONE OF THEM WOULD SAY 'MISS ASHLEY I ADORE YOUR FORTUNE. MAY I MARRY IT?'"
Harriet Ashley found it galling that so many men who didn't care a jot for her were proposing marriage. She knew only too well that she was plain. The truth was very clear: they were after her sizable fortune. Even the elderly men overseeing her estate seemed to regard the idea of her marriage as little more than a business transaction. Well, she would show them.
