A Suitable Husband

As the Duchess of Haverford’s companion, Cedrica Grenford is not treated as a poor relation and is encouraged to mingle with Her Grace’s guests.

An affair with the duchess’s dependent would be dangerous. Anything else is impossible. Isn’t it? (First published in the anthology Holly and Hopeful Hearts) More info →
