Mutual Consent

The Pretty Pawn

Beautiful young Miss Barbara Cribbage was all too familiar with being used by men. Her rich but common-born father used her as his means of entry into society by marrying her off to the eminent Earl of Chatworth. For his part, the high-and-loose-living Earl used marriage to her as his means of escape from a mountain of debts.

But now Barbara had had enough of being a pawn. Despite the powerful hold of her iron-willed father...and the undeniable attraction of her dangerously handsome husband... she was about to start making her own moves in the game of life and love...

Hero: Earl of Chatworth
