Theodora

I finished reading this 1977 Regency yesterday. It was a nice book, particularly for young people or people who like their romances uncomplicated. At times there was a lot of detailed description of relatively minor details. There was also a mystery involving an estate and some hidden emeralds. Theodora (according to the conditions of her cousin's will) was to live at the estate along with a very handsome distant relative for six months. In that time they had to either marry (not necessarily each other) or find the emeralds. If the conditions were met they would then inherit the estate. However, until the end the reader didn't know which man the heroine would agree to marry. I was pleased to see that it was the man that I was rooting for throughout the book. This book may be hard to find. My copy was in a box lot that I won at auction.
