Pleasurable Entanglements

The "Round Dozen" is a gentle yet enjoyable visit into the life of William Helder, a wealthy business executive in London. For years, he has been searching for the cristening cups that had been apart of his family for centuries, but over time, some had disappeared. He has the last cup left to find, and it is this search that introduces him to the quiet, contented, country loving, already betorthed, Hazel Paget. Their lives entwine and entangle within the search for the cup. The eccentric antics of Hazels Aunt, Lady Storring, the gentle shoving of Williams step-mother, the wooing of a freind of Hazels, Mavis, and her energetic suitor Bernie, not to mention Hazles, brother, a struggling musician and sister-in-law, Dilys, all weave together, to make a smile bearing, relaxing, and thoroughly satisfying, light read, with a bit of mystery thrown in to add body to the plot.
