Double Decit
Allison Lane
Charades of Love
Aspiring antiquarian Alexandra Vale is more interested
in digging up ancient artifacts than she is in landing a
husband, but her diabolical father wants her married
off-the sooner the better! And when he wins Sir
Linden's vast estate in a dice game, he's sure that his
troublesome daughter will soon be out of his life for
good-with such a hefty dowry, eager suitors will be
clamoring for her hand. First in line is Sir Linden's
son, Tony, who's hatched a devilish plot to win back
his inheritance. ...
Rumor has it that Tony's nothing more than a rascally
rabble-rouser, and to protect herself from his
notoriously roguish ways, Alex devises a cunning plan
of her own. She and Tony both rely on clever
accomplices to effect the ultimate deceit-but the
two schemers discover that even in the most complex
charades, the heart will always find the truth
