- Synopsis
- Great houses can take over people, even, it is rumored, their souls. Such is the case with the haughty Beverley family. Mannerling, an exquisite seventeenth-century mansion, is the pride and joy of the arrogant Sir William Beverley, his chilly wife, Lady Beverley, and their six snobbish but beautiful daughters: Isabella, Jessica, Rachel, Abigail, Belinda, and Lizzie. Notorious throughout Hadshire County for their arrogance, the Beverleys have few friends and many enemies. When Sir Beverley manages to gamble away his fortune and estates--including Mannerling--to the roguish bachelor Mr. Judd, the family is devastated by the loss of their riches--and most of all by the loss of Mannerling. After their banishment, Isabella, the eldest daughter, sees no alternative but to court the dreadful Mr. Judd and restore her family to Mannerling and their proper position. The arrival of the charming and handsome Irishman Lord Fitzpatrick, however, forces Isabella to choose between true love for herself and loyalty to Mannerling and her family. From "the best of the Regency writers" (Kirkus Reviews) comes the debut of an irresistible new series. This sixth charming and accomplished Chesney Regency series promises to capture the hearts of loyal fans and newcomers alike with cunning capers and treacherous traps set for the latest eligible bachelor-in-residence at Mannerling. You will find many more appealing historic romance novels by this beloved author in the Bookshare collection. They are filled with fascinating historic detail, humor, wisdom and understanding of human nature. Look for such titles as: the complete six volumes of the Six Sisters series beginning with #1 Minerva, the Rake's Progress from the A House for the Season series and Back in Society from The Poor Relation series. Marion Chesney also uses the name M. C. Beaton (Marion Chesney Beaton), and you'll find many more books to complete some of these series by searching under her other name.
