A Man Of Importance

by Anne Hampson

Taran Stoneley should be excited by her unexpected inheritance of a large fortune and a piece of a prosperous estate in the West Indies. Only some of the conditions of the will are far from agreeable. Taran and her co-inheritors, her sweet cousin Rhoda and her thoroughly nasty cousin Vilma, must prove themselves before receiving their shares. Worse still, it is the autocratic Armand de Courtenay who has the power to decide whether or not they pass their test. What chance do Taran and Rhoda stand against scheming Vilma? She has Armand eating out of her hand and is determined to sabotage her cousins at all costs!
