A Grand Deception
Elizabeth Mansfield
Georgiana Verney was a young woman with ideals, and one of
them was that she would never marry for money. It was a
principle her mother could not accept, for money was what
the family needed mostand they could get some if
Georgy would encourage the attentions of the attractive,
wealthy Lord Maitland. But rebellious Georgy would not deny
her principles. She disappeared from home just when his
lordship seemed on the verge of an offer. She had no idea
that her mother would attempt to keep Maitland interested by
finding a replacement for her. Nor could she anticipate what
her new life as a teacher in a charity school would mean to
her. She only knew that, no matter what strange paths this
new life would take, the secret hold that Maitland held on
her heart would never ease.
