About the author
Miss Marietta Warrington is the backbone of her family, now that her endearing but reckless widowed father has gambled away their family fortune. The family rents the dower house of an abandoned estate, Lanterns, and scrambles to save money, while Marietta and her sister hope to make advantageous matches in order to help support them. One afternoon while playing near the mansion, Marietta's brother, five-year-old Arthur Warrington, discovers a mysterious and, Marietta soon learns, attractive stranger called Diccon living among the ruins. Though neighborhood rumor and Diccon's own evasions suggest that he's a smuggler, Marietta cannot help but glimpse hints of Diccon's gentlemanly honor peeking out from under his smuggler's facade. Such discoveries convince her that Diccon can't be telling the truth about his identity, and only intrigue her all the more...
