Spanish Coin

One day a poor relation the next a bewildered bride

She thought he was too good to be true

When Mary Winter and Count Antonio Ramirez y Mondego are caught wrestling on the ground at Tattersall's, there is nothing for it but to be married that very day.

Mary's father nearly has apoplexy and repeatedly warns her to guard her garnet necklace--her only legacy from her mother, a Spanish Countess. When the necklace is stolen, Mary has no choice but to believe that Tony is responsible.

But through a combination of surprising events and equally surprising revelations, Mary's faith in Tony is restored and their marriage in name only be-comes the love match it was always meant to be.

Hero: Count Antonio Ramirez y Mondego (Tony)
Heroine: Mary Winter
