Dame Fortune's Fancy — Phyllis Taylor Pianka

Could her head rule her heart?

Juliana Penridge was beautiful, intelligent ... and penniless. She had been deprived of her dead husband's estate when an unscrupulous cut-throat presented false papers of ownership.

But Juliana's spirit remained unbroken, and she set out to find herself a job. Instead she found Miles Harcourt lying injured in the road. Juliana helped the enigmatic, undeniably attractive gentleman to a nearby country house and nursed him back to health.

Miles repaid Juliana for her kindness by escorting her to London. The gossip-mongers soon began wagging their tongues, however, and Juliana thought it best to leave. If only she hadn't fallen in love ...

Hero: Miles Harcourt
Heroine: Juliana Penridge
