In This Quiet Earth

Résumé du livre

When old Sir Guy Woodville dies, his son Carson, just back from the war, takes responsibility for the family. The Woodville estate is deep in debt and in need of urgent repairs. Connie, once an eighteen-year-old whom Carson thoughtlessly jilted, is now the elegant, self-possessed mistress of Pelham Oak. Carson finds himself falling in love, but can he convince Connie that the past will not be repeated?
