Mistress of Astington
Sylvia Thorpe
She had come to England, to her husband's estate, to care for his wards, a lively flock of young ones desperately in need of discipline. She was doing rather well when Hendreth, their newly appointed guardian, began to mix into the matter. After a most unfortunate love affair in Italy, Lady, Roxwell distrusted all men. Especially Hendreth.
But a new and unexpected look at her faithless former love gave her new eyes to see the man who now filled her every thought.
