About the book
Maris Lindel had a tendre for her neighbor Lord Kenton Danesby, but he found her only a charming, and flirtatious, girl. So Maris returned to her home—and found that a friend was in financial difficulties. When Kenton again met Miss Lindel, he found her become a woman who helped those in need with great dignity—and no longer interested in him. Or was she? Regency Romance by Cynthia Bailey Pratt; originally published by Zebra
