Title: The Ruby Heart
Description: "I DO SCORN THOSE PEACOCKS, THOSE POPINJAYS!"

Lovely Lesley Dalrymple had quite convinced herself that she detested all men. It was not that she lacked for suitors, but she was sure that most were only after her fortune.

When she discovered to her horror that her six-year-old nephew and godchild was being abused and exploited by a greedy relative, she was determined to take action. Then another godparent, the dashing Burke Penhallow, agreed to help her.

The only solution, however, was for her to marry Burke so that they could legally rescue Sandy from his dreadful caretakers.

Lesley had not counted on falling in love with Burke — nor did she ever dream that hers might become a marriage in more than name only...
