Hidden Treasures — Emma Goldrick

They married for money neither of them wanted

Penelope Bloom Harris had chosen the dilapidated Great Salt Marsh as the last place that anyone would look for her, her plans were just to escape her Uncle Henry until her twenty-first birthday, when she could take legal steps to get control of her own money back from him.

When Penny met Frank Corey and his daughter Abby, after months of hiding out to evade her money hungry family the five-foot-ten heiress was ready for some help, but she hadn't bargained on becoming involved with a motherless nine-year-old and her suspicious, domineering father. Over bowls of canned soup, she gradually fell in love with the homely (or was he handsome?) demanding man.

Then she discovered Frank was a lawyer, and could help her. He offered advice, protection -- even marriage -- to his "little love", but she just didn't appreciate the way he chose to go about it! Forty million dollars threatened to keep them apart! Penny was confused. Was he devil or hero, gangster or lawyer?

Hero: Frank Corey
Heroine: Penelope "Penny" Bloom Harris
