Lucy Rossington has put a promising career on hold, so that she can keep the family home going for her young brother Will. Not an easy task, when home is an Elizabethan manor in the West Country that the family have lived in for generations. But Lucy has plans to keep them afloat and bring them into the modern world. Grandmother Isobel is favourably inclined, but the estate manager opposes anything new. Fortunately Lucy has support from her elegant and impulsive childhood friend Anna. There are newcomers on the scene, though, and Lucy begins to wonder if they are all that they seem. Then the taint of avarice and deceit from the past seems to stain the present. It becomes essential to know who she can trust, not only for her happiness, but also for the safety of her family and friends. Will she find out in time?

Mary Tant has been a historical researcher for many years, and now specializes in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries. Her interest in history began in childhood with Richard III, Rupert of the Rhine and the young Elizabeth Tudor. Wildlife observation also started early with the plants and creatures in the woodland beside her home. An interest in crime fiction came later, but has proved just as enduring.
