A Civil Contract

Meer over het boek

" Adam Deveril, the new Vicount Lynton, returns from the Peninsular War to find himself faced with the necessity of providing for his sisters and settling his father's debts. A wealthy marrage is the only answer to such problems but, with his affections already engaged, Adam at first sees little merit in the arrangement proposed by the plain-speaking Jonathan Chawleigh." - back cover.
