A Beggar Wished; A Rainbow to Heaven
Love's Fortunes... Lovely Diana Headley, London's brightest socialite, had everything--wealth, beauty, her choice of suitors. Then tragedy struck her family. Overnight she was penniless, a social outcast. Leaving the remnants o f her shattered life behind her, Diana fled London. It was at the home of her dearest friend that she met the intellectual Barry Dunbar and fell desperately in love with him. In his company, her life was richer than ever before. But Barry had denounced the frivolities of society. And Diana was to learn, quite painfully, that he considered her one of them ... Diana accepted Lord Hugo Dalk's proposal. It seemed at the time the only answer to her predicament. But now she was more unhappy than ever. She was about to marry a man she didn't love, while her heart ached for a man who didn't know she existed. Perhaps Diana was a little mad when she ran away on the eve of her marriage. Surely she was heartbroken. But regardless of what the world thought of her, she had decided to take one last desparate gamble on love....
