Thomas Seymour is applying for a post in the Home Office through the patronage of his Uncle, Lord Amberley. He is asked to clear up a small mystery: did the late Lady Marian write to a former Home Secretary that she feared for her life? The letter was regarded as a hoax at the time.Thomas duly investigates, and finds far more than he bargained for ... including Nell, an attractive widow who quickly overturns all his plans and priorities.
