Description
What happens when a lady falls in love, not with her betrothed, but rather with his cousin?
Miss Priscilla Keenan has been promised to the Marquess of Blackhurst since her birth. The problem is: She has never laid eyes upon the man. So, when Blackhurst sends his cousin to York to assist Priscilla in readying Blackhurst’s home estate for the marquess’s return from his service in India, it is only natural for Priscilla to ask Mr. Alden something of the marquess’s disposition. Yet, those conversations lead Cilla onto a different path, one where she presents her heart to the wrong gentleman. How can she and Alden find happiness together when the world means to keep them apart? Inspired by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow’s “The Courtship of Miles Standish,” this tale wants for nothing, especially not a happy ending, which it has, but that ending is not what the reader anticipates.

Quite short story. Cilla is betrothed to Lord Blackhurst, who is returning from India to talk up his estates. Priscilla's father thinks the engagement is a good one as the estates are next to each other and he'll still get to see his daughter. Cilla is unsure about marrying a stranger. She's asked to help prepare the estate for his lordships return and meets his cousin Johnathan and starts to build up a relationship. You can proably see where this is going. It's a clean read and entertaining.
