Description
When wealthy, accomplished Sir Waldo Hawkridge inherits a neglected estate in the Yorkshire village of Oversett, his arrival unsettles the locals—and captivates their attention. Among those drawn into his orbit is Ancilla Trent, a sensible young woman devoted to managing her spirited charge, Tiffany, whose sudden escapade creates an unexpected predicament. As Sir Waldo and Ancilla navigate village rivalries, family expectations, and the complications of misplaced assumptions, an unlikely romance begins to take shape. With its witty dialogue, vivid Regency setting, and sparkling social observation, this charming novel showcases Georgette Heyer’s signature blend of comedy, intrigue, and romance.
