This is the story of Arabella Audley who inherited her father’s Scottish barony, but was denied his English earldom because of her sex. Shuffled between five guardians for six long years while Parliament dithers over determining the Earl of Audley’s rightful heir, Belle’s tired of being reduced to the role of pawn.
She wants the Earldom and her beloved Audley Priory. And she just might get it
if she can arrange a betrothal to one of her rivals for the earldom (two real
losers). But then a handsome cavalry officer appears on the scene.
There are many characters in this short story, I assume to lay a foundation for the rest of the series. The author cleverly addresses them with humorous titles and Belle finds a solution to her problem. All ends well when the cavalry officer insists on love.
