Produktbeschreibung

Nine wealthy women seek men trustworthy of their greatest treasure-their hearts. Meet nine young women in America between 1866 and 1905 who have been blessed by fortunes made in gold, silver, industry, ranching, and banking. But when it comes to love, each woman struggles to find true love within a society where "first comes money, second comes marriage." What kind of man can they trust with their greatest treasure-their hearts? The Heiress and the Homesteader by Lisa Carter 1880 - Montana Running from the suitor of her father's choosing, haughty silver heiress Eugenia falls for a most unsuitable, proud but poor, homesteader as she tends to his ailing grandmother during harvest. From separate worlds, can they find a place for love to flourish? The Reluctant Heiress by Mary Davis 1905 - Boston, MA Victoria must decide whether to accept her inheritance with its proviso of a forced marriage or walk away from a fortune. Her attorney, Graham, finds it difficult not to cross the line from business to love with the enchanting heiress. In for a Penny by Susanne Dietze 1894 - Philadelphia, PA Banking heiress Penelope Beale is pushed by her status-conscious parents to marry a lofty English lord, but she's drawn instead to a lowly art historian who shares her passion for service-Emmett Retford, the lord's younger brother. Sweet Love Grows by Anita Mae Draper 1890 - McLeod County, MN Amelia Cord never doubted her father's love-despite her illegitimacy.

Hometown Heiress by Patty Smith Hall 1895 - Mills of South Georgia Journalist Matthew Langley strives to make a difference in the world through his writing, but it's not until he meets textile heiress Dania Eison that he learns that changing people's lives starts at home. Savannah's Trial by Cynthia Hickey 1866 - Ozark Mountains The fate of the ranch rests on Savannah Worthington's shoulders.

Maggie's Newport Caper by Lynette Sowell 1895 - Newport, RI and New York City A Gilded Age heiress throws caution to the wind during the Newport summer season to hunt down a jewelry thief targeting the wealthy after her family is robbed.
