Mistress of Martinscombe

Rodney owed her boy"s name to her father's desire for a son and heir. When her father died he left the farm to her in hope that she would take over the running of it. Duty called, but would mean giving up her wonderful job and seeing Eddie again, Eddie whom she had loved but who had married Mellora instead. When she did take over Martinscombe, the big problem turned out to be Noel Alsford. Why was he so eager to tell her how to run her life?
