Lady Mulholland’s two youngest daughters, Poppy and Pansy Granger, have finally come of age. It was their governess’s opinion that they’d taken their time about it, and they had. Now, though, there was no denying the twins were two proper young ladies. It was time to think about gentlemen that might suit.
And therein lay the problem. The two ladies had never been separated in their lives and nobody in the Granger family could quite imagine how it would be. Those concerned relations became determined to locate two equally suitable gentlemen of the right age, as yet unmarried, who lived conveniently nearby one another. After all, how hard could that be?
Rather hard, as it happened. However, two gentlemen are finally identified. Using winding and thin connections, both are invited to Chemsworth.
Richard Whiting, Viscount Burkhart and heir to the Earl of Westport is a strapping young man. Eminently eligible and sure to please. Mr. Lelander, heir to Viscount Pepperdon is suave and sophisticated, everything to be admired. Most ideally, they live but six miles from one another.
If all is to proceed well, each gentleman will become besotted with one of the twins, the twins will each become besotted with one of the gentlemen, and the besotted parties will be besotted by the right person rather than the one who is besotted by the other one. What could go wrong?
The two gentlemen might live six miles apart, but one resides on the Yorkshire side of the county lines, the other lives on the Lancashire side, and feelings regarding the Roses War still run deep in those neighborhoods. Very, very deep.
Two gentlemen whose families are generational enemies, a violent snowstorm, a robbery, a mysterious baron turning up, a leaving and coming again, ice steps, and gin in a pump-can add up to the usual shenanigans in Chemsworth Hall.
Genre: Historical Romance
