Double Deceit

Aspiring antiquarian Alexandra Vale is more interested in digging up ancient artifacts than she is in landing a husband - but her diabolical father wants her married off--the sooner the better! And when he wins sir Linden's vast estate in a dice game - he's sure that his troublesome daughter will soon be out of his life for good--with such a hefty dowry - eager suitors will he clamoring for her hand. First in line is Sir Linden's son, Tony, who's hatched a devilish plot to win back his inheritance .... Rumor has it that Tony's nothing more than a rascally rabble-rouser, and to protect herself from his notoriously roguish ways, Alex devises a cunning plan of her own. She and Tony both rely on clever accomplices to effect the ultimate deceit--but two schemers discover that even in the most complex charades, the heart will always find the truth.
