Dame Fortune
Who would have ever thought that the
elegant, ever-fashionable St. John
Fotheringay-Phipps, aka Fungy, would fall for
a blue-stocking? And yet, in this, the last
book in the Merry Men Quartet, that is just
what happens.
A near-death experience and a severe blow to his ego has Fungy
questioning his life, something he has not done for fifteen years – not
since the woman he loved left him for another man. Now Fungy is going
to prove himself to be responsible, by getting a job, and hopefully soon a
wife.
Rose Grace, too, has to marry. Her archaeologist father has suddenly
found himself unable to pay their bills, making it imperative for Rose to
wed a wealthy man – quickly. Fungy is wonderful, funny and kind, and
always around to help her out when she finds herself in a fix. But as far
as Rose can tell, he is not wealthy, so he cannot solve her financial
woes. On the other hand, the handsome and smooth amateur
archaeologist Lord Kirtland is very wealthy. He is clearly the man she
should marry – she only wished he didn’t make her feel so
uncomfortable.
But her dilemma is solved when Lord Kirtland introduces her to the
world of gambling. She decides that winning at cards is the way she can
save her family's fortunes. This seems like a great plan – until she
loses. Luckily, it is Lord Kirtland to whom she owes the money, and
that problem would be solved if only she can make him propose to her.
But how can Rose wager everything on Lord Kirtland, when it is Fungy
who seems to hold all the cards for her happiness? And will Fungy be
able to reverse his fortunes, by relying on his steadfast friends, the
“Merry Men” as well as on his heart?
