It is a truth universally acknowledged that a single woman in possession of a good fortune must not be in want of a husband...
After four weary years on the marriage mart, Cecilia longs for an appealing match - or maybe, shockingly, no match at all. So when she and her sisters discover they are unexpectedly heiresses to a substantial Suffolk estate, Cecilia dares to imagine a future shaped by her own choosing.
There is, however, one strict condition: to secure their inheritance, none of the sisters may become engaged for a full year.
Cecilia is confident she can manage - but that's before fortune hunters in the shape of handsome lords begin to circle, matchmakers sharpen their claws, and a taciturn Major proves far more difficult to ignore than any conventional proposal.
Can Cecilia protect her heart, her sisters, and the freedom she has only just discovered... or will desire cost her everything she stands to gain?
