About this audiobook
Alison had married for convenience, and when her husband died, she still had his three daughters to look after in Leyden Hall. When she meets the new master of the hall, architect Sir Charles Leyden, she finds him to be distant and quite intimidating. Yet when Sir Charles falls ill and she cares for him, she must admit that there is a softer side to him that she finds rather alluring. Does she stand a chance with this man, especially since his attentions appear to be directed at her stepdaughter Jessamy? The modern Cinderella tale from the 20th century was written by Susan Barrie, a pseudonym of the prolific romance writer Ida Pollock.
A must-read for fans of literary romance and surprising twists of fate.
