Lady Sophia Rowley, married and widowed three times, returns to Rowley Hall after marriage plans to her London lover falls through. Vicar Charles Heywood, guardian to her sons, promises to provide entertainment. Surprising Charles has depths of character she has not experienced. Sophia's evolving from a jaded hard ton beauty to a spirited loving person is thrown off course by the return of her father--a down and out bad man who sold his daughter into marriage to an every worse man not just once but twice. Her late third husband paid the father to off to live outside of England. But with Lord Rowley's death, he feels free to return and work to get Sophia hooked up with his bad-nobleman sidekick. Manning prose is very nice.
Consider this a good work for those readers who enjoy Mary Balogh.
