Lady Sarah's Charade

by Nancy Richards-Akers

A contrived courtship. Lovely Sarah Clement-Brooke wants no part of romance. She prefers, instead, to pursue the ghosts that reputedly haunt her "grace and favour" apartment at Hampton Court--a predilection that makes for diverting evenings, but does little to improve her marital prospects. So when her sly Aunt Ophelia contrives to match her with the attractive but arrogant Earl of Radnor, Sarah is determined to outfox the plot. Together she and the disinterested earl agree to feign courtship in order to avoid matrimony. But a perceptible change in the air when his lordship is near--accompanied by a mad fluttering of Sarah's heart--fills the reluctant miss with dread. For there's the ghastly ghost of a possibility that the two mock mates might actually fall in love!
