She with her lovely young stepmother, Fanny as "chaperone", decide to move to Bath. Her father's heir is eager to take over his inheritance-and her lifelong home- but the the fiery-hearted Serena is not so easily controlled. Serena raged as she heard her father's last will and testament! How could he mortgage his only daughter to Lord Rotherham, making the very man she had recently jilted caretaker of her inheritance and her heart? When her father dies unexpectedly, Serena discovers to her horror that she has been left a ward of the odious Lord Rotherham. Lady Serena Carlow is an acknowledged beauty, many eager suitors have vied for her hand, but she's got a temper as fiery as her head of red hair. Leaving Fanny, a widow younger than his own daughter Serena is one thing, but quite another is leaving his daugther's fortune to the trusteeship of Ivo Barrasford, marquis of Rotherham - a man whom Serena once jilted and who now has the power to give or withhold his consent to any marriage she might contemplate.
