A Grand Deception
by Elizabeth Mansfield

Georgiana Verney was a young woman with ideals, and one of them was that she would never marry for money. It was a principle her mother could not accept, for money was what the family needed most—and they could get some if Georgy would encourage the attentions of the attractive, wealthy Lord Maitland. But rebellious Georgy would not deny her principles. She disappeared from home just when his lordship seemed on the verge of an offer. She had no idea that her mother would attempt to keep Maitland interested by finding a replacement for her. Nor could she anticipate what her new life as a teacher in a charity school would mean to her. She only knew that, no matter what strange paths this new life would take, the secret hold that Maitland held on her heart would never ease.
