Item description
When first we practice to deceive, --All Morwenna Beaugard wanted was to be able to give gifts to the other business-girls that worked with her at Frith Chambers without giving away her shameful secret: she was not as poor as they were but was a lady of private means!
So when she invents a beau for herself, a Mr. Paul Wright, and pretends that the gifts she dispenses like Lady Bountiful are from him, she never realizes what a tangled web will result, and how, worst of all, she may end up with...The Wrong Mr. Right.
Praise for Berta Ruck, "One can always depend on finding an interesting plot, strongly tinged with originality, in any novel by this author."– The New York Times, April 23, 1922.
Amy Roberta Ruck was born on 2 August 1878 in Murree, Punjab, India, one of eight children by Eleanor D'Arcy and Colonel Arthur Ashley Ruck, a British army officer. Her family moved to Wales, where she went to school in Bangor. On 1909, she married novelist (George) Oliver Onions (1873-1961), and they had two sons: Arthur (b. 1912) and William (b. 1913). Berta died only nine days after her 100th birthday.
From 1905, she began to contribute short stories and serials to magazines, and on 1914, her first novel "His Official Fiancée" was published. She wrote over eighty romance novels. She also wrote an autobiography and two memoir-style works.
