Flirt

Product Description [Read by Charlotte Anne Dore] Young Elizabeth is orphaned and living with her cruel uncle. But when she tricks her way into a glamorous party filled with eligible bachelors to save her, things don't go as planned! ''If I could have foreseen the future, I would have married the first man who asked me!'' Tongues were set wagging when Elizabeth Markham's glamorous young parents were killed, sinking their only child to the unspeakable class of poor relation. Forced to live with her cruel, miserly uncle Julius, Elizabeth is forbidden to partake in the season's festivities. Marriage is her only escape, and she enacts a daring plan to trick her way into the Duke of Dunster's exclusive house party, to snare one of the eligible dandies sure to dance attendance on her. Her plan proceeds swimmingly, as Elizabeth flirts with all but the arrogant Lord Charles Lufford, considered to be quite a catch. She ignores him thoroughly until her uncle discovers her deception and Charles saves her - by announcing their engagement! But Elizabeth's troubles are far from over, for in her absence she had come into an inheritance. And her uncle, along with one other sinister party would rather see her perish than receive it.  Review Chesney is a romance writer who deftly blends humor and adventure...[sustaining] her devoted audience to the last gasp.-- "Booklist, praise for the author"Nobody writes Jane Austen like Marion Chesney...[She] gets it right every time.-- "Detroit Free Press, praise for the author"The best of the Regency writers.-- "Kirkus Reviews, praise for the author" About the Author M.
