Jacqueline Tregarth, lady and guardian of Nimway Hall, is devoted to protecting her people, the Hall, the estate's wood, and its farms. She yearns for a husband to help her meet the challenges, but all those seeking her hand are interested only in controlling her lands. With the estate's stream running dry and summer looming, she sets men digging to reopen an old spring. Her workers discover a dirt-encrusted ornament buried at the spot ; once removed, water flows and fills the lake and Jacqueline realizes the ornament is an ancient orb. Meanwhile, Lord Richard Devries, overly-eligible darling of the ton, fights free of kidnapper seeking to force him to offer for some lady's hand. But on escaping into the countryside, he gets lost in Balesboro Wood and stumbles on a covert scheme to divert a stream. Later, he finds his way to Nimway Hall, where the household is celebrating a spring running again. Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |

The story mirrors one of Ms. Laurens other books, Scandal's Bride. Set in Georgian times, the language seemed a bit stilted to me, but the story was okay. The inevitable consummation of their love was somewhat purplish, but Ms. Lauren's books can sometimes flow that way. Not one of my favorites of her books, but still an okay read. ( )
