Mary, Sweet Mary

STEAL HER BELOVED'S HEART FROM A FEMME FATALE? ‘TWAS POSSIBLE…IF THE RIGHT GAME WERE PLAYED!

As much as she disliked untruths, and love games, Mary Montlaine was persuaded she had no alternative if she hoped to win Richard's heart.

Make him jealous? It might answer. Thus a bemused and quite enchanted Lord Severn became her willing conspirator. His reputation as a rake would surely get Richard's dander up!

In the company of dashing Severn, Mary had become the season's incomparable. Yet she was miserable! Her wiles had not captivated Richard. Worse, she feared she had developed a tender for Severn…for whom love was only a game.

Hero: Richard Grey
Heroine: Mary Montlaine
