Opis treści / summary:

The determined Miss Dione Mallory is no stranger to the disagreeable consequences of being poor, having lived with them for the whole of her twenty-five years, but she has never learned to like them.

When her younger brother inherits Garth House from a distant relative, it seems to be the answer to all her problems. Against all sensible advice, she uproots her widowed mother and family from the luxurious London house where they have been enduring their rich relatives' charity, and removes them to the country.

But Garth House is not quite what Dione expected. Dilapidated and decayed, it needs all her capable resources to make it habitable. Their neighbour, Sir Greydon Varleigh, is a dashing and darkly attractive Corinthian who proves to be a great moral and practical support.

He, however, has other distractions besides Dione's expressive grey eyes. His grandmother is determined to marry him off and the Varleigh Medallion, traditionally supposed to embody the Varleigh luck, mysteriously disappears.

This is an exciting and romantic Georgian story, told with all the humour and sureness of touch we associate with Sylvia Thorpe.
