About the book

Paul Wycliff unexpectedly inherits a title and estate when his uncle dies suddenly. Paul is then surprised to find the manor house being run by a young woman, who has been thrust into an estate management role following the death of the uncle, her employer. Paul and Mary Grant strike up an immediate rapport, but she can’t quite believe he has any feelings for a mousy old maid like herself, until he asks her to marry him.
