description: HOME was where the heart was
  
  Though not under ideal conditions, Hester Martingale was pleased to inherit a home of her own, and would stay on permanently if she could.
  
  She was welcomed into the neighbourhood by the disturbingly handsome Earl of Eversleigh and immediately adopted by his irrepressible and irresistible siblings.
  But not everyone was pleased to welcome Hester, and before long, it became all too obvious that someone was willing to go to any lengths to make her leave.
  
  Hero: Charles "Charlie" Eversleigh
