Heart Stone

Elise Cummings is the jewel of the current social season. She is pretty, intelligent, talented, and most importantly, she comes with a respectable dowry. She also has a secret. A secret too damaging to tell a future husband and too devastating to remain a secret. Nicholas, Viscount Stanhope, must marry a girl with a dowry sooner rather than later. When he comes to the rescue of the beautiful Elise, he feels as though he may have met the perfect answer to his problems. When he learns Elise's secret will it lead to happily ever after?
