At the ripe old age of twenty-four, it seems that Chloe Rothwell has missed her chance in the Regency marriage market.
Called home in the middle of the London Season by the death of her father, meek and mild Chloe had resigned herself to a life spent serving her unappreciative family - her manipulative stepmother Lady Rothwell, overbearing brother Edward, and her sisters, the air- headed Lydia and the scheming Sophy.
Now the surprising news that she has inherited a fortune might give her the freedom and independence she craves.
But it also leaves her prey to England's most seductive fortune-hunters ...
Francis Hensley's excellent manners and connections almost make up for his lack of intelligence.
Julian Stoddard is attractive and charming, but infamous for his gambling and lecherous habits.
Thaddeus Invers seems sophisticated and worldly, but steals all his wit and wisdom from books.
Can her childhood friend Sir Richard Davenant rescue inexperienced Chloe from making a terrible mistake?
With all four men in a race to win her hand and with her own family making demands on her money, Chloe will have to make up her mind quickly between duty and happiness.
'The Dutiful Daughter' is a brilliant historical romance that will grip readers from the first page to the last.
Vanessa Gray (along with Jocelyn Carew) is a pen-name used by Jacquelyn Aeby, who was born in Indiana and graduated from the University of Chicago.
