About this audiobook
In this medium length story, we have Jane, Marchioness of Severn and her side kick; a poet Mr Despencer conniving plans together to bring about the marriage of her daughter, Lady Victoria with an heir to a brewery plant , Mr Hammond. There were obstacles though, in term of Hammond's love to a popular club singer, Belle Yorke. Meanwhile there were also rumours circling around of Miss Yorke being patronized by a wealthy man. As for her ladyship cunningness to thwart this obstacle; she obtained the mean by hiring Yorke to sing at her private salon party and inviting Hammond at the same time. There were 2 million pounds at stakes and a future of political advantage to be gained from the alliance of oldest peerage family and of a new money family. At the same time, Mr Despencer kept a secret from that Marchioness of gossips swirling around town was actually concerning the Marquis himself. (Goodreads)
