In Her Own Right
When Geoffrey Croyden's fortune vanishes in the collapse of a Wall Street brokerage, the polished gentleman finds himself unexpectedly untethered from the only world he's ever known. Penniless but for a remote Carolina estate inherited from a stranger, he retreats to Clarendon intending only escape. But among his dead benefactor's papers lies a discovery that changes everything: a letter revealing the man's great-great grandfather was heir to a pirate who buried treasure in the Carolina hills. Now Geoffrey faces a choice that defines the novel's romantic heart. The treasure could restore his fortune and his place in society, but winning Elaine Cavendish, the independent-minded beauty who catches his eye in this new world, may require something the old Geoffrey never possessed: genuine character. A spry adventure romance from 1914 that moves with surprising verve through Gilded Age collapse and Appalachian treasure hunt alike.
