wish in mind snare a rich husband Impetuosity is Arabella s only fault When fate cast her in the path of arrogant, socially prominent Robert Beaumaris, who accused her of being another petty female after his wealth, the proud, headstrong ingenue made a most startling claim she was an heiress Suddenly Arabella found herself the talk of the town and pursued by every amorous fortune hunter in London and some of the most eligible young men of the day.But only one caught Arabella s fancy Mr Beaumaris, the handsome and dedicated bachelor She should know better than to allow herself to be provoked by nonpareil Beau That gentleman, however, although a most artful matrimonial dodger, badly underestimated his seemingly naive adversary But would her deceitful charade destroy her one chance
