" Angie nodded slowly . " Those people do love to gossip . " Somehow , she realized that in Draventh - whether among heiresses , heirs , wealthy wives , or other social circles -the level of gossip was no less than in her small hometown .

Words spread quickly . Anyone's affairs could become entertainment during a quick round of golf . Those young ladies were even worse . Gossiping in person wasn't enough .
