Lost in a woodland daydream, cherubic eighteen-year-old Anita
Lavenham is awoken from a reverie inspired by a sermon about the
Devil by the sonorous voice of a handsome gentleman asking her to
open the gate she's leaning on - a gentleman whose imperious, yet
raffish air leads her to think that he is Lucifer personified Anita
and her two sisters are impoverished after the loss of their father
and their Mama's illness - and soon she is obliged to go to live in
Harrogate with her severe Great-Aunt Matilda, who, to Anita's
chagrin, is determined to marry her off as soon as possible to the
ageing and boorish local Parson. It seems she is fated to a life of
misery until, by chance, she meets the Dowager Duchess of Ollerton
at the Harrogate Pump Room where, to her amazement she realises
that the Duchess's son is none other than her very own handsome
fallen angel Blessed by the kindness of the Duchess, who rescues
Anita from the prospect of a loveless marriage and enlists her in
the search for a bride for her discerning and disinterested son,
Anita finds joy in her magnificent new surroundings and exalted
company but still, surely, it is too much for her to hope that she
herself might find a true love of her own?
