He is also friendly and unassuming, and Samantha soon relaxes into a warm friendship with him. He is an ordinary-looking man and is half crippled. She meets him far from the house and mistakes him for a landscape designer. While she is staying in the country with Jennifer and Gabriel, she takes a walk alone and wanders onto the property of the reclusive Marquess of Carew. Samantha Newman is getting older, but though she is beautiful and courted by a large number of gentlemen, she is restless and unhappy. He is not in high favor with the ton, but when he sees that Lionel is also back in town, he is willing to risk further trouble for himself by causing harm to his old enemy in any way that presents itself…and Lionel has a new fiancée. Gabriel, Earl of Thornhill, has just returned to England after a long stay in Europe, where he fled after a scandalous elopement with his father’s pregnant wife.

It seems to her that she has loved him forever, and she assumes that he loves her. Jennifer is particularly excited because finally the marriage that has been arranged between her and Lionel, Viscount Kersey, will become a reality. Jennifer Winwood arrives in London with her cousin, Samantha Newman, for their come-out Season.

They will be republished soon-see the Upcoming Books page for the publishing schedule. There are three other books also linked to them- The Famous Heroine, The Plumed Bonnet, and Christmas Bride. The heroines are cousins and both of them appear in both books. These are two books that were first published in 19 respectively.
