About At the Sign of the Golden Pineapple

Henrietta Bascombe takes a legacy and sets up a confectioners shop in London, along with elderly Miss Hissop and two beautiful young gentlewomen from her village. When handsome but haughty Lord Carrisdowne hears that his brother and his friend are enraptured by the two young ladies, he decides to make the shop unfashionable. While this tactic works at first, he soon finds to his chagrin that he would really rather spend as much time as possible with Henrietta.
