Miss Kate Farleigh was virtually kidnapped by Lady Cahill, after refusing that lady's 'charity'. But she saw her purpose when included in a visit to Jack Carstairs, Lady Cahill's grandson.

He'd retreated to his country estate, but Kate had no patience with Jack's forcefully uttered requests to be left alone! (From back cover, 1999)
'MAGNUS HAD DECIDED TO SELECT A BRIDE! Miss Thalia Robinson, a destitute orphan, was fortunate that she had been allowed to look after her cousin Laetitia's three adorable children. Tallie usually spent her quiet life lost in daydreams, but the arrival of a house party to aid Magnus, Earl of d'Arenville, to find a wife, turned her world upside down. Magnus's cold facade had been pierced by a delightful small girl, and now he'd decided he wanted children of his own. For that, he needed a wife. But things didn't go according to Laetitia's plan, for he ignored all the debutantes that were presented to him, and, taken with Tallie's loving treatment of the children in her charge, decided that she was the one he would marry....' (Publisher's blurb)
