With her two older sisters married, governing family affairs has fallen to capable Miss Margaret Hapgood, leaving little time for thoughts of marriage. But a trip to Bath to find her uncle a wealthy bride throws her in the path of a handsome recuperating soldier, who is equally determined to keep his mother’s fortune out of grasping hands.
2022 Editor's Pick. "In this much-anticipated addition to The Hapgoods of Bramleigh series, Christina Dudley continues to enchant readers with her memorable characters and her Gaskell-esque writing style."
"Captivating...I most highly recommend!"
"Christina Dudley is surely one of the finest Regency authors around – original, clever, literate and very, very funny."
