A sweet, wholesome, Regency Romance.

Lord Peter had disgraced the family once too often. Now his father was giving him one last chance to redeem himself. Go to the Devon estate and find out what was wrong with it. Solve the problem, and the estate was his. Fail, and he would be cast off to make his own way in the world.

In Devon, Lord Peter found a thief, a resentful household and tenants, a poorly maintained house, a vicious band of smugglers, a fierce great-aunt, a clever dog and a beautiful blind girl in need of a new hat.
