A Most Sensible Arrangement ebook

When the seventh Earl of Marchmont is laid to rest, his daughter Cordelia inherits more than grief: a Hampshire estate groaning under debt, a younger sister who needs protection, and a mother who has long stopped facing reality. The heir is far away, the fortune dwindling - and Cordelia realises that saving the family rests on her alone. What remains to a woman of standing in such days? A sensible marriage, without illusions, without love. Yet the closer sense comes to the truth of her own heart, the harder it is to keep to the plan. The warm, clever opening of "The Wyndham Season" - a Regency saga about duty, pride, and what sense is really worth when the heart wants otherwise.
