Lockwood inheritance series ; part 1.

Verity Lockwood despises life at Far View House, where her father and mill owner, Jebediah Lockwood, drowns his fortune - and his wits - in drink. With debts mounting, whispers spread - how much longer can Lockwood's Mill survive? The dark and dirty mills of Yorkshire are no place for a gently bred young woman, but when Verity learns that her father's ruin threatens not only her home but the livelihoods of the workers who depend on it, she refuses to stand idly by. Oliver Hardcastle, the mill's stern and steady manager, is doubtful of Miss Lockwood's sudden involvement. She's quiet and unassuming, yet behind her demure exterior lies a sharp mind, and as Verity challenges tradition with her bold ideas, she soon earns the respect of the other workers - especially the mill girls - and the reluctant admiration of Oliver himself.
