Romance and scandal abound in this warm and witty tale of the young
widow Octavia Darcy, whose attempts to secure her fortune and clear
her name lead her through all manner of difficulties. 'I am a woman
of independent means, definitely in possession of a good fortune,
but I am not in the least in want of a husband!' So declares
Octavia Darcy. Raised as a poor relation, she is sent off to India
to be married, only to have her brief happiness as the second wife
of Captain Darcy dashed by his early death. But an unexpected
legacy leaves her extremely well off and for the first time ever
she can decide her own fate. Suddenly everyone wants to know her
and pay court to her. Who can she rely on? Luckily her new-found
acquaintance with her Darcy cousins takes her to Netherfield Hall,
which has an argumentative but undoubtedly intriguing new tenant...
