Lady Jane Lovelace has conceived the idea of approaching the most notorious man about town, Lord Charles Welbourne, with a most unique proposition. But when he counters her offer with a condition that he thinks will halt her impudence, much to the surprise of both, she accepts. A novel of passion and intrigue, The Westerby Inheritance is the first volume of this new and emotionally charged romantic saga all played out against a backdrop of elegant eighteenth century society.

The impudent baggage cared naught for his rank, consequence, haughty demeanor, nor immaculate attire, but Lady Betty may be the only woman who can make the Duke of Collingham happy. At 13 and 11, Sally and Betty lost papa, but sister Jane 17 gained Lord Charles and three fortunes for dowries. Mama Hetty, whose poaching fed the family when poor, taught her girls to shoot.
