Synopsis Author

The haughty Beverley family is obsessed with regaining Mannerling, the exquisite seventeenth-century mansion gambled away by their now-deceased father, Sir Beverley. Three of the six Beverley daughters have failed to win back their ancestral estate - settling for love matches over mere bricks and mortar. Now it is Rachel's turn to woo the latest eligible bachelor-in-residence, handsome widower Charles Blackwood.

Yet her plan to win the autocratic Charles almost comes to naught: At their first meeting, Rachel forgets herself and admonishes Charles for neglecting his two small children. The antics of young Beth and Mark Blackwood successfully throw Charles and Rachel together, but does Rachel love Charles for himself or for Mannerling?

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.
