- Synopsis
- The near-rape of Jessica, the second eldest of the six Beverley daughters, by Harry Devers, the lecherous son of Mannerling's present owners, has momentarily cooled her sister Abigail's obsession with Mannerling. At this perfect moment--with her mind freed from thoughts of Harry or Mannerling--Abigail meets the tall, rich, handsome, and extremely eligible Lord Burfield, who has decided to quit the army, settle down to the life of a landowner, and find a bride. But then Harry Devers has a riding accident that forces him to recuperate in the Beverleys' new house. All too soon after Rachel, Abigail's identical twin, nurses Harry back to health, she finds herself engaged to him--and Abigail finds her obsession with Mannerling reawakened. When Rachel begins to have second thoughts about marrying Harry, Abigail comes up with a daring plan to regain Mannerling once and for all. Will it succeed? Should it succeed? Perhaps Abigail would be better off concentrating her attentions on Lord Burfield, who is about to be snapped up by Prudence Makepeace....
