The Daring Exploits of a Runaway Heiress (Millworth Manor) [Mass Market Paperback] Alexander, Victoria

London's most proper heiress has had enough. After years of being the perfect daughter, Lucy Merryweather fakes her own death and runs off to New York to live the wild, independent life she's always craved. But her carefully orchestrated escape hits a snag when Cameron Effington — the infuriating, devastatingly attractive man she's been at odds with since childhood — tracks her down. He's determined to bring her home. She's determined to taste freedom. What follows is a transatlantic battle of wills laced with champagne, ballrooms, and the kind of banter that masks deeper feelings neither is ready to admit. Victoria Alexander delivers Gilded Age escapism with a heroine who refuses to play it safe and a hero who finally learns what she's worth. For fans of witty historical romance where the sparring is as good as the swooning.
