About the book
FEATHERING HIS OWN NEST—WAS THAT HIS AIM? Philippa Ingram accepted calmly the news that she was a possible heir to the Copperthwaite Wool Mills of Cumbria. The prospect of fortune did not overwhelm her, but a certain Frenchman did. On holiday in Avignon, the sensible Philippa allowed herself to be swept off her feet by a man described as a "heartbreaker”, definitely not “husband material”. But marriage to Philippa was on Francis Balfour's mind—and she feared his motivation did not match her own.
