Four Calling Cards

Edward Castleford, Viscount Rundell, was on the bride hunt. While he has never spurned romance, he has yet to find someone who fills his life with happiness. It isn't until his father gives him an ultimatum - take a wife or get cut off without a cent – does he have to make a difficult, and rather quick, decision. By the time the Earl of Vellerman returns from Bath, taking the waters in a final attempt to restore his failing health, he expects to hear of an engagement upon his return. Thus, Edward has narrowed down his choices to four amiable prospects… Miss Sabrina Everhart is the companion of the Countess of Warably, but she feels like more of a servant. She is the lady's poor, orphan relation who has become more of a charity case than a woman of proper age who might be allowed to join the marriage mart. However, just as she's nearly become resigned to the fact she will remain as nothing but a plain wallflower, she suddenly starts to receive the attentions of Viscount Rundell. But what could a plain, penniless lady possibly offer such a handsome bachelor?
