The Vaughan Pride — Margaret Miles

As the new owner of Southwood Manor, Laura Vaughan discovers that she's even more poverty stricken than before. She also finds that her neighbour, the handsome Marius Kerr, is a little too close for comfort, despite his help with her financial problems. Then there's Simon Fenner, Laura's solicitor. But is he more interested in Laura or her house? Laura works hard to keep herself financially afloat only to meet with continual setbacks, which she struggles to overcome.
