  The tenth Earl of Narbrooke is a miser.
  	He is obsessed with money and is prepared to starve himself as well as his household and will not give a penny to his family even though he is the Head of it.
  	He has locked himself away in his vast mansion and neglects the estate until it becomes a disgrace.
  	Colonel Euan Campbell, who had been wounded in the War with Napoleon, is very hard-up and accepts the position of managing the Earl's horses.  He is given a cottage for his wife and his daughter, Devona, aged thirteen.
  	The Colonel is killed by a wild horse that the Earl insists on buying because it was cheap and, as they are destitute, Mrs. Campbell and Devonia are taken into the big house so that they can help the servants although they are not paid.
  	Mrs. Campbell dies of pneumonia in the unheated house while Devona stays on.
  	Then one morning the miserly Earl is found dead from a stroke and Devona sends a message to the next Earl who lives in London.
  	Before he arrives, however, she finds the Earl's will in which every penny he possesses is to be buried with him.
  	Because she is terrified that the new Earl will be like his brother, she burns the will, thinking that if the money goes to the family they will help her.
  	When the new Earl does arrive, he is the miser's nephew and to Devona's surprise he is young, tall and handsome and when he asks the beautiful Devona who she is, because she is so scared, she says that she is the daughter of his uncle.
  	How after the funeral the new Earl visits the Bank and finds that his uncle has left a huge fortune of one million pounds.
  	How Devona is stunned to learn that as she is the next of kin, the money goes to her.
  	How she comes to an arrangement with the new Earl and how because it leaks out that she is the heiress she is terrorised by a fortune-hunter, but eventually finds love is all told in this unusual story by BARBARA CARTLAND.

  For years Celina Storton had been in love with Robin, the Earl of Torrington, but he spent his time in Paris, pursuing beautiful women and the more the merrier. Then his mother’s illness forced him to return to England, where she demanded that he marry quickly, as she had not long to live. She had chosen his bride for him – Celina. He was horrified by this threat to his liberty, but since Celina was an old friend and as he loved his mother, he agreed. Only when the wedding was over did his mother reveal that she was not as ill as she had seemed. Furious at the way he had been tricked into marriage, Robin turned on his wife, certain that she must have been party to the deception. But Celina was innocent and became angry at his accusations. She was ready to walk out on him, but then she discovered that his tenants had been ill-treated during his long absences in Paris. She set out to improve their lives, and became so determined to achieve this end that she almost forgot her husband. Robin was not used to women who stood up to him or ignored him. But his wife did both and he found himself intrigued. But neither of them had reckoned with a man who sought revenge on Robin for putting him in prison, and who had finally tracked him down. What happened when he broke into their home and tried to kill Celina, is all told in this exciting, romantic novel by BARBARA CARTLAND.
