A Handful of Stars

"One thing Scott Lingrove doesn't like is losing something he's set his heart on," someone told Charlotte, and she could well believe it.

Unfortunately the thing Scott wanted most of all was Charlotte's house. To what lengths would he go to get it?

~~~~~~~~~~~

Charlotte Brown didn't even know she had a great-uncle Ezra -- until he left her his enormous house in Derbyshire, Blanestock, and a large income to go with it. Thrilled, Charlotte went off to take up her inheritance. Her charming young solicitor, Noel Chartres, was as helpful as he could be, and saw to it that she was warned about Scott Lingrove, who wanted Blanestock for himself.

‘One thing Scott Lingrove doesn't like is losing something he's set his heart on,' he told her. And Charlotte was prepared to believe that Scott would go to any lengths to get his heart's desire -- and he could be very persuasive!

Even with Noel's help, could she manage to stand up to him?


Hero: Scott Lingrove
