When Marietta Chase arrived at Twin Oaks, she expected to be greeted by her handsome husband-to-be, Roger Thorning, and introduced to the splendid mansion that would be her new home. Instead Mariett found waiting only Roger's notorious older brother, Christoher, the master of Twin Oaks and the man responsible for turning this great mansion into a gamblers' den and a bachelor's unkempt quarters. Marrietta would have fled-but she had nowhere to run. She would have said no to Christopher's inexplicable offer to marriage if she had not needed a home so badly. Marrietta walked down the marriage aisle at the side of a man she did not know but could only fear-and into the heart of a mystery she had to solve to find her way at last. A splendid story. Once I started it, I couldn't put it down
Couldn't put it down!

Diana Campbell is my favorite Regency author. Her characters are believable, likeable and humorous. This was the first of her Regencies that I read, and once I started it, I couldn't put it down, and immediately started looking for more. I've since reread all of them hundreds of times...I wouldn't part with any of them.
