The Fortunes of Love

the long version

The Duke of Strathavon had the ladies of Bath all agog. But not Davinia Sinclair. He did not frighten her, even when he chased her from her perch in an apple tree on his estate. His newly acquired wealth did not impress her; for she did not seek a rich husband. Nor did his darkly handsome appearance engage her, for she was already in love with Lord Maunsell, who intended to ask for her hand as soon as he found his treasure. They should live happily ever after--for a gypsy had foretold that Davinia would wed a man whose name began with "M".
