Full Description
Edith Backworth, daughter of the local parson, leads a tranquil life in rural Northumberland until the tragedy of Waterloo propels her without warning into the nobility, and the intrigue of London society. Charles, Lord Whitley, is still mourning the loss of his fiancee and friends when he is thrust into the unwelcome role of executor. His life is totally disrupted by the new Lady Edith's unconventional ways and outspoken behaviour. He would like nothing better than to throttle her. Goaded beyond belief he dumps her in a muddy ditch instead! But when Edith's murderous cousin Bertram covets her father's new title and kidnaps her, only Charles can come to the rescue. But who will save Lord Whitley from the life he has chosen for himself?
