Lady Anne's Deception (The Changing Fortunes Series Book 4) - Plot & Excerpts
Aunt Agatha had never married. She had told so many people that she, Agatha, had been a great beauty in her youth that she had almost begun to believe it herself. She liked to hint at a great romance and a subsequent broken heart. She enameled her face white and painted red circles on her cheeks. Her fair hair was on the brassy side. Her dresses were always of clinging materials, and, given the slightest chance, she would wear the lowest-cut gowns possible, exposing an acreage of painted neck and bosom. Most of the time she looked like a badly stretched canvas. In a lower circle of society, she would be condemned for dressing and making-up like a tart, but in the ratified heights of the London Season, she merely became one with the other raddled chaperones who lined the walls. Her instructions from her sister were perfectly clear. Marigold must marry money. She was to be encouraged to smile on any suitor with a large bank balance and a desire to have a titled wife. If worst came to worst, an American would do, although young American males seemed to enjoy the spectacle of the London Season and then promptly went home to marry American girls.
