The Star Of Love

Charles, Lord Hartley, was at his wits end. He had spent a fortune on his cousin John, and still the embittered John demanded more money. Charles knew he needed an heiress and he became swiftly attracted to Cliona, who had recently moved in to the neighbourhood. He did not know that she was an heiress. When he found out, he felt there was no way that he could approach her with honour. But Cliona, a spirited girl, had her own ideas. Charles was the man she wanted, and when John appeared again, determined to court her for her money, she put an audacious plan into practice.
To win the man she loved she first had to win an extraordinary game of cards, using skills that no lady was supposed to have. How her lucky star helped her triumph over villainy and win the man she loved is told in this exciting and romantic novel story.

    “Not at all!” she stressed decidedly. “Brilliance is quite out of place in the English aristocracy. Fortunately you show no sign of it.” - 😂😂😂

    Lady Hester sighed. “It’s a problem, isn’t it? Oh, how I wish this was the eighteenth century, when it was easier to have people assassinated.” Charles choked slightly into his coffee. “Mama please, I beg you not to say things like that. I know you’re only joking –”
    “Am I? Well, yes I suppose I am. - lol this was a funny book!

    The fact that she herself seemed untroubled by any danger briefly sank this argument, but he remembered in time that it was for a man’s superior intellect to judge these things. Women were frail and should be protected from their own rashness. - 😏😒

    “Not impossible at all. Young girls have strange tastes. Look at the way she used to like you. That should show you.” “Are you ever serious?” Charles demanded scathingly. - Never knew Cartland's sense of humour would extend into her fluffy novels.
