Book Description

March 15, 1997
Torn between her ancestral home and her heart, Belinda Beverley must choose between Lord Luke St. Clair, the rather dimwitted man who now owns Mannerling, and the man she loves, the smart and handsome Lord Gyre.


Editorial Reviews

From the Inside Flap

SHE WAS DETERMINED TO RECLAIM HER CHERISHED HOME--
AT ANY COST. . . .

As one of the two remaining unmarried Beverley sisters, Belinda considered herself the last hope for Mannerling, the beloved estate gambled away by their father. Each of her four elder sisters had hoped--even schemed--to marry one of Mannerling's successive owners. But all had chosen true love over their ancestral home.

Practical and duty-bound, Belinda would woo and wed Lord St. Clair, current holder of the estate. True, he was a silly fop, hardly what she desired in a husband,  but she vowed to make the man love her--even at the expense of her own happiness.

However, dashing Lord Gyre could hardly ignore the ridiculous drama. Belinda was far too good for that dandy St. Clair. Therefore, his lordship decided it was his duty to win the lovely Belinda's heart! --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

2.0 out of 5 stars Once again Chesney amuses, yet there could be more., December 11, 1998
By A Customer
Chesney's characters are delightful, adorable, and funny. The situations she creates rival Jane Austen's. In this book, I found Belinda's circumstances wholly uncreditable. After four previous sisters have gone through such contretemps to retrieve the house of Mannerling, I would think that it was time o stop. After the third book I thought perhaps she had expounded on the subject to its full extent. I would recommend one of Chesney's other sextets before continuing this one. Specifically the one about the Tribbles and their School of Manners.
