The Moonlight Wish

Janice Bennett

One stormy night, Lady Edwina Langston -- forfeits her inheritance by fleeing from an arranged marriage. She gazes at the moon and yearns to be her own mistress. High time for Xanthe to appear, and sweep her to Brighton's summer season--where, under Lady Xanthe Simms's twinkling eye, Eddie's skill at cards puts her in high profit. And when her spurned groom, the dashing Viscount Ashtead, aids her in her new career as a genteel gamestress, is he offering the love for which she longs--or plotting to gain her grandfather's fortune? How can he convince her of his deepening regard?
