From the back of the book:
In the first of The Duchess of Duke Street novels, Louisa Leyton, young, handsome, spry and ambitious, fought her way up from the lowest levels of domestic service to become the mistress of her own hotel, The Bentinck, in the heart of London's West End.

Now, having shed her unwanted husband, and his interfering sister, Norah, and emerging from an almost fatal illness due to overwork and her fanatical determination to pay off her considerable debts, Louisa Leyton has been reinstated as owner of the hotel by her great love, the Honourable Charles Tyrrell. Outspoken and sometimes outrageous, and supported by a devoted staff of varying degrees of eccentricity, Louisa's Golden Years are filled with the comings and goings of guests and residents of the Bentinck during the rich, wild years of the Edwardian decade.

Based on the BBC television series, The Duchess of Duke Street .
