Publisher's Synopsis
For Fanny Logan it is a simple matter of falling for a good man and marrying him. It is a different matter for ice-cold Polly Hampton. Her mother Lady Montdore has trained her daughter for marriage which she sees as 'by far the most suitable career for any woman' - and despairs of the headstrong Polly, failing to understand why her beautiful, well-bred daughter turns up her elegant nose at all the young men provided for her pleasure. When Polly does choose to marry, her choice of husband shocks her ambitious mother to the core.
