Julianna

At twenty-three Julianna was still unmarried, by choice. Rich and attractive, she had received her share of proposals although nobody was more persistent than her cousin Jonathan who had proposed twelve times. Julianna truly loved Jonathan but as a brother and was seriously concerned about his gambling debts yet it was no basis for marriage. And then what would her Great-Aunt Elizabeth do but push an ingenue goddaughter on Julianna that she was sponsoring. It didn't help that Miss Marley was as innocent as she was mysterious and in dire need of Julianna's worldly wisdom. Particularly when it came to the rakish Earl of Marleton. Julianna could not trust the man and was more than a little suspicious about his motives.
