The Bequest: (Regency Romance)

Claude also has a problem: he has seven days to prevent his cousin Harwood's marriage and receive the inheritance he believed would be his. Without the inheritance, he can't pay off his insurmountable debt and will face servitude or death. His plan is to kidnap Lady Rebecca.

Unbeknownst to both cousins, Claude's creditor wants the estate for himself and will stop at nothing to get it.
