Historical | Romance
When your father is a man of expensive tastes and schemes
but very little money, you soon learn to make do. So when
Captain Fortune, a well-meaning but profligate ex-soldier
in Regency England, tells his daughter Caroline that they
are ruined, she automatically starts seeking employment as
a governess. Her father, however, has far grander designs
for Miss Fortune...
Caro is to become the companion of Mrs. Catling, the rich,
fierce widow of her father's old colonel. As Mrs. Catling
amuses herself by tormenting her relatives and servants,
Caro resolves to make the best of the situation, and soon
her beauty and intelligence attract the attentions of male
admirers. Surrounded by people with an alarming readiness to reveal
each other's confidences, Caroline is exasperated to find
herself implicated in their indiscretions. But will Miss
Fortune be able to avoid losing her reputation without
losing her head? And will she find at least one good man
amongst the genteel set who will take her side, and,
indeed, her fancy?
