The last deception of Palliser Wentwood

the long version

"Dangerously charming, Palliser Wentwood has run away to England, leaving behind his farm in New Zealand, his beautiful wife Salome, his daughters, and his many creditors. Palliser is in search of a fortune, enough to restore the prosperity of farm and family."--BOOK JACKET. "In an English manor live the Lovelaces: Hubert and Blanche, brother and sister, both amazingly tall and immensely fat, shy, and conventional. Engaged as a butler, and posing as a grieving widower, Palliser turns his charms on Blanche, teasing out laughter and beauty where before there was only timidity."--BOOK JACKET. "But will his deception succeed? Can he bring himself to ruin her? And, back in New Zealand, will Salome succumb to the gentle siege of Philip Butterworth, solicitor and suitor?"--BOOK JACKET.
