ABOUT THE BOOK
Rosalie and Charles are drawn together, but he knows that his financial circumstances, he run-down state of the house and land and the predations of the previous owner, including the loss of the famous Hargreaves silver ship, makes it impossible for him to declare his feelings. And neither can Matthew follow his, for Lady Julia, but she is a determined young female, and takes matters into her own hands, causing concern for her reputation, and a consequent pursuit.
Will everyone’s expectations come to nothing, when a man arrives at Staplewood Park, claiming that he is the rightful heir to the title and estate? And does the “fortune” still exist?
