About the book
The three Farthington sisters have managed on their own at their country estate since the death of their parents. But now they are incensed to learn that their uncle will be visiting soon with two gentlemen from London with the intent to sell the house. Fiery Katherine works out a plan to show off the worst aspects of the house, and gets lovely older sister Elizabeth and spunky younger sister Chloe to follow her lead. But they are all a bit disconcerted when the two gentlemen turn out to be much more appealing to their sensibilities than they expected.
