Description: "1812. Clever, strong-willed Vivienne  Fox is unexpectedly endowed with riches beyond her wildest dreams when a distant cousin dies, leaving her his fortune.  Unwed at twnety-four, Vivienne still hopes the right man is out there, but she despairs of ever finding him, and she is determined that rumours of her new-found wealth be quashed, lest she be courted for her purse rather than her heart.  Renowned rake Lord Alex LeSayres comes to an unpleasant decision after the death of his father.  If he is to save their family lands, he must marry a wealthy woman - and quickly.  Introduced to Miss Fox, his interest is soon piqued.  But he must set aside his growing feelings for her, or else his family will face disaster.
