Genre: Regency romance mystery (non-traditional). Molly's future was never in doubt: a respectable husband with a sensible house, preferably not too far from her parents' home. What more could a properly raised young girl want? It was not a question that even occurred to her - until she met Leonard Everton. The wealthy young inebriate of the neighbourhood, a gambler, a man without morals, without pride. His neglected estate was falling into ruin and he had no friends. It was just a chance meeting, something the family could forget about as soon as it was over. But not Molly. Leonard's behaviour did not match that reputation. He was not degenerate - he was frightened. And she wanted to help.
