A Dreadful Temptation, by Mrs. Alex McVeigh Miller (1850 - 1937)

All audio files can be found on our catalog page: https://librivox.org/dreadful-temptation-mrs-alex-mcveigh-miller/
Jilted by the man she loves, Xenie Carroll has determined that no matter the cost she will exact the ultimate revenge on he who broke her heart.  She is tempted over and over with opportunities that she believes will allow her to complete her revenge but instead sets off a series of events that only make things more complicated.  This melodramatic dime novel is full of twists and turns that keeps the reader wondering what improbable thing will happen next? (Summary by Jenn Broda)
Source text (please read only from this text!): http://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/43911

Target completion date: 2021-05-31

Prooflistening level: Standard
Prospective PLs, please see the Guide for Proof-listeners.

IMPORTANT - soloist, please note: in order to limit the number of languishing projects on our server, we ask that you post an update at least once a month in your project thread, even if you haven't recorded anything. If we don't hear from you for three months, your project may be opened up to a group project if a Book Coordinator is found. Files you have completed will be used in this project. If you haven't recorded anything yet, your project will be removed from the forum (contact any admin to see if it can be re-instated).

Please don't download or listen to files belonging to projects in process unless you are the BC or PL. Our servers are not set up to handle the greater volume of traffic. Please wait until the project has been completed. Thanks!

Oh, I'm dreadfully tempted to DPL this. Sounds like fun! But I'm terribly behind on my commitments as it is. Good luck!
