Vanessa

Vanessa Hartland had found no virtue in poverty, so, shortly after her father's death she and her sister Helen made their way to Brighton, where Vanessa was determined to find a rich husband for herself and a kind one for gentle Helen. Stopping at the Angel Inn, Vanessa met the man who could make her wish come true--Quentin Travers, one of London's most eligible bachelors. But the all-too-desirable Mr. Travers had learned that lovely faces often hid scheming minds, so he was posing as a man of modest means.As midsummer madness filled the air, Vanessa began to forget her bold ambitions and answer the lure of love instead--until she discovered that her cherished sister was falling in love with the one man who might make her happy... Quentin Travers.
