Sally

She was an honored guest in a palatial country home. “Aunt Mabelâ€, the lovelorn columnist of Home Chats magazine, had been summoned to prevent the Duchess of Dartwareâ€s son, Paul, from a marriage that others believed a fate worse than death. Who would have guessed that behind Aunt Mabelâ€s acid pen and ageless wisdom lurked the real eighteen-year-old Sally Blane… determined to make the handsome marquess her own! But how could she compete, wearing false wrinkles and a white wig? It was a challenge worthy of Sally to conquer the upper-class of Dartware and bewitch her newfound Prince Charming without giving away the real secret of who Aunt Mabel really was….
