About this book
Her low standing as companion to the three neglected young wards of the aristocratic Marquis of Capel does not prevent Harriet Yorks from confronting the Marquis with his responsibilities towards them.

And what better rival for her affections than the gallant Lord Bruce Wendover, who is always at hand...
