After all, who was Margette but a country, Miss without wealth, rank, title or the artificial beauty favored by the aristocratic elite? As the blue-blooded ladies and hot-blooded gentlemen of the Regency swiftly learned, Margette was a young lady with a mind and a plan uniquely her own . . as the female eyebrows began to rise, hand some heads began to turn, and one by one the most sought-after hands and most arrogant hearts in the realm were offered to this bold creature who wanted only the best and knew the best ways to get it . This should have been the day of Miss Margette Milbank's crowning triumph Just a short time ago, Margette had arrived friend less and unwanted in Regency London. Now she was the privileged protegee of society's most formidable dragon. Invitations to the most splendid balls and glittering gatherings were piled high on her dressing table. Her closet was filled with gorgeous gowns. And to top off her total triumph, today the two most eligible lords in the realm were to fight a deadly duel over her. Why then did her heart beat with such unaccus tomed anxiety? Why were her clear and candid eyes so close to filling with tears? Love had come to Miss Margette Milbank-and for the first time in her life, she did not want to conquer but to surrender.
