The Fourteenth Duchess — Mollie Aghadjian
THE LIFE OF A WOMAN OF QUALITY
Her fiancé was wealthy, handsome, and mad for her. The only thing wrong was that her father had chosen him. When Catherine learned that a marriage contract was in the making between her father and the wealthy courtier Attenbury, she disguised herself as a servant in Attenbury's household, determined to find out what kind of man he was. After what happened when she met him alone in the chapel one moonlit evening, she felt humiliated and fled, vowing never to speak to him again. But their lives were intertwined forever after, even though she became the wife of a Duke old enough to be her father, and even though Attenbury married beneath himself for money.
Through the years she plotted revenge, while he led a faction she hated. Finally the long-drawn-out storm of love and hatred came to a climax when she made him an offer stranger than any he had ever heard.
