Old Money

Morgan Steer and Tom Marchant are handsome, charming, and unscrupulous - each intent on marrying a fortune. While Tom relishes each new conquest, Morgan cannot forget his first love, Caroline Barstow. When in desperation Morgan proposes to the icy and enormously rich Chloe Post, a day of reckoning approaches for everyone.
Morgan takes Chloe up to Northumberland to visit the awesome and wealthy Leonora Steer, at ninety the matriarch of the family, whose displeasure no one risks. In her presence, old jealousies are nudged back into life, passions are rekindled, and Leonora's three daughters are forced into a reappraisal of their own prospects. For Caroline Barstow, the visit forces her to confront her feelings; for Chloe it is an awakening. And for all it is a demonstration of how the root of all evil can devastate even the best of intentions.
