Miss Caroline Cummings was a vicar's daughter, the picture of propriety and the soul of innocence. Thomas Mannering was the most infamous rake in the realm, whose drinking, gambling, and womanizing had exiled him from polite society. Only the most bizarre of accidents could have made Caroline his bride—but accidents do happen and did.
