And if the match were wrecked, it would dash the last hope of getting his lovely, improvident mother out of debt. For even though they did not love each other, he could hardly embarrass the charming Cressida Stavely at her own engagement party. Handsome and eligible as the titled elder of the renowned Fancot twins was, no one would forgive him if he failed to appear before his fiancee's family. The Honourable Christopher "Kit" Fancot, on leave from the diplomatic service in the summer of 1817, is startled to find his entrancing but incorrigibly extravagant mother on the brink of financial and social ruin - and more than alarmed to find that his twin, Evelyn, the new Earl of Denville, has disappeared without trace. But, just when disaster seems certain, their adorable Mama, quite unpredictably, saves the day. The danger is that, at times, the family's pressing financial needs are almost overshadowed by the even greater demands of young hearts. So she is lucky to have such resourceful twin sons as Evelyn and Christopher Fancot to steer the family through a desperate intrigue to restore the Denvilles fortunes.
When the charming but irresponsible Lady Amabel, Countess of Denville is left a young widow the problem of her mounting debts becomes acute.
