The trouble with Mrs Montgomery Hurst is not Mrs Montgomery Hurst - as young Miss Amelia Ashpoint well knows.
The real trouble is the polite society of Wickenshire, with its inescapable gossip about the arrival of the new Mrs Hurst and - whisper it - her three children from a previous marriage.
In Wickenshire, nobody's business is their own. And in this strange match, the local families sense scandal - and they will do anything to expose it.
Meanwhile, Amelia Ashpoint, though handsome, clever and rich, is avoiding talk of marriage at all costs.
For while society expects Amelia to marry well, her heart is drawing her in a very different direction . . .

'Rich with scandal, romance and social mores . . . a total delight!' ANITA FRANK, author of The Good Liars
'A feast of clever wit and lovingly drawn characters, this is an absolute treat for fans of Jane Austen - or anyone looking for top-rate storytelling' HESTER MUSSON
