Entanglement — Catherine Fellows

When Ellen Farrell was asked by her cousin Anthony to pretend they were betrothed so his father would increase his allowance, she agreed. She hoped to turn his affections away from the greedy mistress who was quickly putting him into debt.

But she hadn't counted on a much more dangerous threat to Anthony's money -- and his life. His Aunt Bess was spreading rumors all over London that Anthony's father, Lord Clavendon, had murdered his two brothers to obtain his title and money.

Entanglement.
