Swept away by an admirer's inexhaustible charm, Lina McLaidlaw finds herself settled in a life she could never have imagined: head of a fine household in a remote and exclusive part of Dorset and guardian of both the morals and the finances of the man she has chosen to marry. Feckless and irresponsible Johnnie Aysgarth may be, but despite a shaky start she has finally got him under control. She waited until she was thirty before accepting a marriage proposal, and eight years after that before grudgingly accepting that her husband was - and perhaps still could be - a murderer.
