About This Book

Twenty-five-year-Venetia Lanyon's beauty is rivaled only by her sensibility. Intelligent and independent, her future seems safe and predictable. Lovely Venetia despairs of ever meeting the handsome hero of her romantic dreams, and is nearly resigned to spinsterhood, thanks to the enormous amount of responsibility she inherited, with a Yorkshire estate and an invalid but precocious brother, Aubrey.
