Books like Marriage by Bequest by Elisabeth Carey


"WHAT AN ODIOUS MAN. HE WILL NEVER, NEVER MARRY YOU, LUCINDA." Marriage however, was precisely what that rakehell, the Marquess of Lothan was proposing. Melissa Grey, Lucinda's sister, was decidedly unhappy about the Marquess, she knew that he was not only a rogue and weakling, but that the marriage was his only way to inherit a fortune. But Melissa's deepest anger was for the Marquess's guardian, the dashing Earl of Venning, who seemed to be laughing at her most of the time. What a condescending ninny, she thought. At least that's what she thought -- until things took quite a different turn.
