The Hopeless Hoyden (33 page)

An Independent Lady

At twenty five, Amelia hasn’t met anyone she can love but is perfectly happy with her single life.  Her brother Edward is not and plans to introduce her to eligible bachelors. Among them is Lord Talverson, who finds Amelia’s marriage portion a healthy answer to his money problems.

     At a house party, the Earl of Wexley learns his old foe Talverson is manipulating the heiress to wed. Wexley, whose temper is more than a match for the fiery Amelia, sets out to help her, despite the fact that the very independent lady does not want his help.
