[Read by Mia Chiaromonte]In this whirlwind series, Marion Chesney (aka M.C. Beaton) brings us spirited, independent women who are bewitching, beguiling, and determined to make their mark on the world.Penelope - golden haired, azure eyed, fresh from the country - has stolen the heart of the most desirable Earl of Hestleton. Rich and startlingly handsome, he is the most eligible lord in the realm. He had planned to toy with her affections and then toss her aside, but when the earl discovers that he is a pawn in her aunt's social-climbing scheme, he begins to doubt Penelope's true love. Can the belle keep her beau, or will Aunt Augusta's ambitious plans force Penelope to flee? --This text refers to an alternate Audio CD edition.
