Roger Trevanion has just inherited the family estate, but the legacy comes swamped in debt and bound by countless mortgages. A lifelong bachelor accustomed to hunting, racing, and carefree revelry, he finds himself urged by a pragmatic lawyer to consider a “suitable marriage” as the quickest route back to financial stability. His bitter memories of a former love, Amelia Boscawen, leave him cynical about women, yet the pressure to rescue his ancestral lands forces him to confront his own prejudices.
Enter Mistress Nancy Molesworth, a spirited and resourceful woman whose reputation for independence precedes her. When she appears on the scene, Roger is drawn into a series of unexpected encounters that test his resolve, challenge his notions of honor, and hint at a larger adventure beyond mere financial rescue. Listeners will be swept along with Roger’s witty inner monologue as he navigates love, duty, and the promise of a fresh start.
