Description: In a town called Hope on the edge of Britain's empire,
desperations clash: the beautiful Dorothea Brook is desperate to free her
pregnant sister Rose from the clutches of Fraser, a fortune hunter. A local
politician, William Poyner, is desperate for cash and thinks marriage to
Dorothea will save him. Dorothea hires Lawrence Hayes, a rough but handsome
Argonaut, to bribe Fraser with jewels and to marry Rose; Hayes desperately loves
Dorothea and may marry Rose to stay close to her. But Dorothea has a lover, the
ravishing Anne Cooper, who encourages the match with Poyner to give the lovers
cover. Are these remedies, each desperate in its turn, going to make anyone
happy?
