The Ruby Necklace — Martha Kirkland

Love by the Book

Miss Emaline Harrison was as innocent and ignorant of the ways of the world as only a vicar's daughter could be. But now she found herself in a position that no vicar's daughter should ever have to face. She was the widow of a licentious blueblood after a marriage in name only. Around her neck was a precious heirloom that some London gentlemen would kill for. So it was difficult for Emaline to discern the true motives and intentions of the seductive suitors swarming around her-most especially the dashing Captain Geoffrey Beauchamp and the dazzling Lord Liam Whitcomb.

The only guidance Emaline had was a book of advice. And though the counsel in this extraordinary guide was as captivatingly cunning as it was remarkably effective, following it was sure to lead a lovely young lady surrounded by such attractive temptation very dangerously, if delightfully, astray.
