Book excerpt: Even a fortune forged in railroads and steel can't buy entrance into the upper echelons of Victorian high society--for that you need a marriage of convenience. American heiress August Crenshaw has aspirations. But unlike her peers, it isn't some stuffy British Lord she wants wrapped around her finger--it's Crenshaw Iron Works, the family business. When it's clear that August's outrageously progressive ways render her unsuitable for a respectable match, her parents offer up her younger sister to the highest entitled bidder instead. This simply will not do. August refuses to leave her sister to the mercy of a loveless marriage. Evan Sterling, the Duke of Rothschild, has no intention of walking away from the marriage. He's recently inherited the title only to find his coffers empty, and with countless lives depending on him, he can't walk away from the fortune a Crenshaw heiress would bring him.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Now including an excerpt from VICTORIA: A Novel, by Daisy Goodwin, the Creator/Writer of the Masterpiece Presentation on PBS. "Anyone suffering Downton Abbey withdrawal symptoms (who isn't?) will find an instant tonic in Daisy Goodwin's The American Heiress. The story of Cora Cash, an American heiress in the 1890s who bags an English duke, this is a deliciously evocative first novel that lingers in the mind." --Allison Pearson, New York Times bestselling author of I Don't Know How She Does It and I Think I Love You Be careful what you wish for. Traveling abroad with her mother at the turn of the twentieth century to seek a titled husband, beautiful, vivacious Cora Cash, whose family mansion in Newport dwarfs the Vanderbilts', suddenly finds herself Duchess of Wareham, married to Ivo, the most eligible bachelor in England. Nothing is quite as it seems, however: Ivo is withdrawn and secretive, and the English social scene is full of traps and betrayals. Money, Cora soon learns, cannot buy everything, as she must decide what is truly worth the price in her life and her marriage. Witty, moving, and brilliantly entertaining, Cora's story marks the debut of a glorious storyteller who brings a fresh new spirit to the world of Edith Wharton and Henry James. "For daughters of the new American billionaires of the 19th century, it was the ultimate deal: marriage to a cash-strapped British Aristocrat in return for a title and social status. But money didn't always buy them happiness." --Daisy Goodwin in The Daily Mail One of Library Journal's Best Historical Fiction Books of 2011

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An unexpected fortune falls into a tradeswoman’s lap, a gentleman insists it rightfully belongs to him, will falling in love make matters better or worse? Adam Gillensford, third son to an earl, has always been the rightful heir in his own mind—a belief shattered when an unexpected stipulation leaves his family's fortune to Elaine Chapple, a seamstress who suddenly finds herself navigating the complicated world of upperclass society. Now Adam faces a bitter choice: assist this unlikely heiress in her societal debut, or undermine her to reclaim what he deems rightfully his. A task complicated by the magnetic pull he feels whenever he’s near her. Elaine Chapple’s life was already a delicate balance, running a small dress shop while serving as guardian to two young children. When she inexplicably inherits a fortune from a stranger, she is thrust into a gilded world fraught with etiquette and subterfuge. Her guardianship of the children hangs in the balance, dependent on her successfully maintaining her newfound status. With Adam Gillensford as her assigned—and conflicted—guide, she can't help but wonder: is he her ally in this bewildering new world, or the orchestrator of her downfall? In a society where inheritance is more than wealth—it's a ticket to a life of privilege or a descent into social oblivion—Adam and Elaine must navigate a web of family expectations, societal norms, and their own conflicting emotions. As they grapple with their precarious futures, will they discover that the most treacherous, and rewarding, inheritance of all is love?

Download or read book His Unexpected Heiress written by Sally Britton and published by . This book was released on 2022-10 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A third son to an earl, Adam Gillensford knows his only hope of an inheritance is through his great uncle. But when the Will is read, Adam learns most of the wealth has been left to a complete stranger, and a seamstress at that. If he hopes to salvage any kind of funds for himself, he has two choices: adhere to his late uncle's wishes and assist the new heiress in finding her way, or sabotage her so the courts will find her unfit to inherit. Deciding his course would be easier if the heiress wasn't so enchanting. Elaine Chapple, a woman in trade, is rather used to being seen as unusual. But running her own dress shop is far different from discovering a man she barely knew left his entire estate in her care. As unexpected as the fortune is, the help of the gentleman attached to it is even more perplexing. Does Mr. Gillensford mean to make her a success, or a fool? With a greedy family urging Adam to act for his own good, and Elaine's difficulty in adapting to her new life, only love could possibly untangle this mess.
