Synopsis Author

When one of her sisters is attacked by Harry Devers, the lecherous son of Mannerling's present owner, Abigail Beverley puts her obsession with reclaiming the mansion on hold. Then Abigail meets the dashing and extremely eligible Lord Burfield, fresh back from the army and in full-time pursuit of a bride.

Yet unexpected circumstances force the insufferable Harry Devers to recuperate from a riding accident in the Beverley home, where Abigail's twin sister Rachel nurses him back to health - and into betrothal. Stirred from its brief slumber, Abigail's fury returns, alive and kicking. So when Rachel begins to have doubts about marrying Harry, Abigail devises a daring plan to win back Mannerling once and for all.

But perhaps Abigail would be better off concentrating on Lord Burfield, lest he be snapped up by Prudence Makepeace!

M. C. Beaton

A favourite with Waterstones booksellers, Scottish author M (Marion).C (Chesney). Beaton actually began her career in a bookshop, working in the fiction department of John Smith & Sons Ltd in Glasgow. After working for several years as a journalist, she moved to the United States and began writing regency romances. After penning more than a hundred, she decided to turn her hand to detective fiction, writing under the name M.C. Beaton and wrote the first of her popular Hamish Macbeth series before – in the early nineties – starting her best-known series Agatha Raisin about a retired advertising executive with a talent for solving crime.
