The Mischievous Plan Of A Fiery Lady by Henrietta Harding

This woman is lucky she didn't lose the Duke fully. Let's just her mischievousness could have seriously backfired and the Ton could have really taken her down. This is story is whimsical and based on a stupid's woman's pride. I felt sorry for the poor maid that had to play her. She is the real victim in this farce, yet the author did not take her into account when everything came out. As for the Duke, he can marry anyone he wants to, because he's a Duke, only the Duke needed money to keep his newly inherited title from folding in on itself. I found Isabella selfish, unthinking and very stupid in her plan to fool the Duke. As far as I'm concerned, the Duke should have exposed her plan to show her how selfish and unthinking she was. I don't understand how he could love such a manipulative woman.
