Lady Harriet Hamilton falls for Viscount Thomas Anson when they meet as a child when Thomas' father sells off all of the assets of Shugborough. Or perhaps she falls first for Shugborough. Lady Harriet, call me Harry, is rather outspoken. Her family tilts at Victorian mores by reading titillating books and having intimate encounters. Thomas is out to refurbish Shugborough with its original fittings...difficult when one's father has gambled away every penny. Thomas sees Harry as a help with this goal; but, Harry wants to have what her 'in-love' parents have. Thomas proves his love in a variety of ways. Lots of drama with some predictability in this Victorian romance from the author of the Irish Duke.
