Romance. When your father is a man of expensive tastes but very little money, you soon learn to 'make do'. So when Caroline Fortune's prodigal father finally admits to losing all they possess, he soon has grand designs for her - Caroline is to become the companion of the extremely wealthy and childless Mrs Catling. Although uncomfortable with the plan, she makes the most of this introduction to polite society and soon her beauty and intelligence attract the attentions of male admirers. But, much to her horror, she is just as quick to discover that love and romance are not what some 'gentlemen' seek. Surrounded by people with an alarming readiness to reveal each other's confidences, Caroline finds herself unjustly implicated in their indiscretions. But will Miss Fortune be able to avoid losing her reputation? And will she realise that there is at least one good man who is more than willing to take her side and, indeed, her fancy?
