Cursed by a Fortune
On his deathbed, a wealthy banker makes one final plea to his brother: protect his daughter Kitty from those who will come seeking her fortune. But wealth has never been a blessing in this world, only a target. Kitty Wilton is young, beautiful, and suddenly very wealthy. She is also utterly vulnerable. As suitors circle like sharks, each one promising devotion while calculating pounds and shillings, she must discern genuine love from calculated ambition. Her father's brother, made guardian and executor, vows to shield her. Yet even protectors can have their own designs. This is Victorian England, where a woman's worth is measured in pounds and connections, and where a fortune can feel less like a gift than a curse. Fenn weaves a tension-filled tale of inheritance, desire, and the precarious position of women who must navigate a world that sees them primarily as acquisitions.
