Ada Westlake has turned down Viscount Ashmead-again, convinced that a marriage of convenience would ruin their perfect friendship. She then also fails to latch onto the fortune in coins she finds in her apple orchard, assuming it is tainted money. Though the viscount knows something about that money, he can't possibly tell Ada, and so he watches her try to dispose of it-without much luck… Regency Romance by Barbara Metzger; originally published by Signet
