A Fine Gentleman

Lady Caroline Carruthers was enjoying her visit to the Hartville home. But one thing made her life at the estate complicated -- Lady Hartville was intent on convincing her son Richard that Caroline would be a perfect wife for him. Lord Hartville kept his distance from his mother's schemes, which was fine with Caroline, who had no intention of marrying such an obstinate, infuriating man! Then a surprise arrived on the doorstep -- a beautiful little girl named Wilhelmina who claimed the fine gentleman Richard as her papa.

Lord Hartville firmly denied that this girl was his child. But Caroline warmed to the little Wilhelmina immediately, despite the child's questionable parentage. She also noticed that the girl had a secret fear of a bad man determined to harm her. As Caroline and Lord Hartville struggled to find Wilhelmina's true parents, she began to look forward to their battles of wit. And suddenly, Lady Hartville's loving plans did not seem so far-fetched at all...
