300. The Third Heiress (Brenda Joyce)

Mittal's house in London -- the most expensive house purchase in the world

Synopsis from Amazon:
Setting: London, present day and early 20th century
Sensuality Rating: 5
Following a car crash, professional dancer Jill Gallagher holds her dying fiancé in her arms as he whispers, "I love you ... Kate." Left with the wretched task of returning Hal's body to London and the aristocratic Sheldon family, Jill encounters hostility, malevolence, and a 90-year-old mystery involving a beautiful young American woman named Kate Gallagher and her impossible love affair with Edward Sheldon, Viscount Braxton. A tangled web of love, lies, and murder begins to unravel as Jill digs into the scandal, revealing that very little has changed in the century since Kate Gallagher first caught Edward Sheldon's fancy-- especially when the blue-blooded family lineage is threatened by an American upstart. When someone begins warning Jill off her research by ransacking her rented flat and slicing her car brakes, she isn't sure if Hal's American-born cousin Alex Preston is friend or foe. Alex claims to want to help, but Jill suspects that he is not telling her the truth. And with the threats against her life intensifying, Jill is running out of options quickly.

My rating: 2 stars
