Beautiful, demure and dutiful, Oletha the blessed heiress to her late mother's vast fortune. But the blessing becomes a curse when her father tells her '... because you are so rich, you will find the average decent English gentleman will never ask you to be his wife.'

Remember too the most valuable thing in the whole world is not money, but love'... Soon she is to discover which of her parents is right, which is wrong and whether she'll ever find love.
