Miss Westlake’s Windfall
Barbara Metzger
For Love...or Money?
Miss Ada Westlake doesn't consider herself a
fool. ..but everyone else seems to. Though her
family is nearly destitute, she has just turned down
another proposal from the best catch in the county.
Chas-otherwise known as Viscount Ashmead-
has asked many times before and Ada, fearful of
ruining their friendship with a marriage of
convenience, has made him swear never to ask
again. Ada also refuses to hang on to a bag of coins
she found in the family orchard, convinced the
money is ill-gotten. She appears determined to
defeat the possibility of financial salvation at every
turn. But Ada doesn't mean to be foolish-only to
uphold her principles....
Now, Chas must convince "Addled Ada" to see
reason-about the money and, most importantly,
about him. Because the greatest treasure of all is
true love....
