The opening line of Garwood's ( Saving Grace ) latest novel, "The
vultures were gathering in the vestibule," aptly sets the tone for the
machinations to follow. These "vultures" (of 1868 vintage) are the
greedy relatives of Lady Esther Stapleton awaiting the death of their
wealthy kin. Worst of the lot is Esther's son, Malcolm, a devious and
demented gentleman who is unaware that his vigil is useless: his mother
has already transferred her wealth from England to a Boston bank in the
name of her favorite granddaughter, Taylor. To shield Taylor from
Malcolm's wrath, Esther arranges for the girl to marry Lucas Ross, a
Montana rancher itching to end his visit to England. The couple readily
agree to the plan: Lucas needs the money to bring his younger brother
to America, and Taylor knows Lucas's protection is the only way she can
safeguard her tiny orphaned nieces from Malcolm, whose sexual appetite
runs to the very young. The marriage is to be annulled as soon as they
reach the States, but love has a way of upsetting the best-laid plans.
Garwood pads her story with pages of intricate detail (bathing,
shopping, decor, traveling, etc.) that ultimately slow the pace to a
crawl. Readers can enjoy this book for the humor, the sweetness and the
sensuality.

Julie Garwood, Prince Charming? It was published in 1995. Blurb from
Amazon.com's Publishers Weekly blurb:
The opening line of Garwood's ( Saving Grace ) latest novel, "The
vultures were gathering in the vestibule," aptly sets the tone for the
machinations to follow. These "vultures" (of 1868 vintage) are the
greedy relatives of Lady Esther Stapleton awaiting the death of their

Could this be
A Heart So Wild by Johanna Lindsey?
