 TALES OF MAGNIFICENT LADIES   Book Seven

Martha Haskett is the daughter of Viscount and Viscountess Lymington. Her parents have been desperately looking for an advantageous marriage for her. She has absolutely no say in the matter and fears that she’s just an auction prize. Running out of options she desperately searches for an escape.

As luck would have it this escape comes in the form of Jonas Dormer, the Baronet Dormer of Buckland as he arrives at her house. He is a vastly wealthy and respected member of society. However, this high standing leaves him vulnerable to being taken advantage of.

Upon his arrival, Martha begs him to take her away from there and offers her a household position. He sees the desperation in her eyes and believes her authenticity, unlike countless ladies who have used the position as a way to make him fall for them.

But he sees something in Martha, something unique and unlike anything he’s ever seen before.

Will her intentions be true?
