Lady Charlotte's Ruse
CHARLOTTE STRIKES BACK
Charlotte Harrington was the happiest of young ladies as she was prepared to wed Gerald Kirkland, the handsome lord who was head-over-heels in love with her. Then, without warning, Gerald fled to far-off America, in the company of the odious Fitzwilliam Caterby, to fall into the clutches of the delightful but dangerous Miss Chasity Brown. Meanwhile, Charlotte found herself engaged to the notorious Marquis of Beresford, who promised her only a married lifetime of cold courtesy and callous betrayal.
Clearly someone was out to do Charlotte no good - and clearly Charlotte had to turn the tables on her unknown enemy even if it meant behaving as no young Lady should, and taking a gamble she could not afford to lose...

Though I expected a happy ending it felt like a very near miss in the middle & impossible for it to end well... was interesting to notice how distressful I found well-played skulduggery to be. Thankfully the author turned things around quickly and spared her reader more pain.
The description of the Hudson River area at the start of its heyday was a nice touch. I found it interesting for having visited the region, and can appreciate the natural beauty described here.
