From Booklist
Alexia Erskine has been brought up in an unhappy family in early-twentieth-century England. Her once well-off father has gambled away the family money, and her mother is bitter and fights constantly with her husband. The only person who seems to love Alexia is her grandmother. Then a miracle happens. Her father’s old friends, the Cliftons, invite Alexia to their country estate for the weekend. When she arrives, she sees the Cliftons’ beautiful home as a dream come true, and when she meets the dashingly handsome heir, Simon Clifton, her happiness is complete. She determines then and there to become part of this wealthy and desirable family. After a short courtship, she and Simon are married, much to the disgust of his parents, who believe Alexia is a gold digger. Although she ignores her in-laws’ dislike, the happiness Alexia seeks eludes her. This is a satisfying, nicely detailed historical romance featuring an inventive plot, intriguing characters, and a feisty heroine. --Emily Melton
