Cousin Nancy — Alberta Sinclair

Society would never accept such an unequal match

Rules were one thing but love was another

Everyone loved Nancy Browne. Even though she was a penniless orphan, her natural enthusiasm and country charm engaged even the most crotchety heart. Or the most jaded.

The Earl of Selbridge, returning to his country seat with a broken heart, found his spirits soon mended when he met the irrepressible Nancy. It mattered not to him that she was by Society's standards beneath his touch, but it mattered greatly to her.

Gradually Nancy changed from the country miss he was so fond of to a proper lady who perplexed him. Selbridge had fallen in love with an angel. Now how in the devil was he going to get her back?

Hero: Jack Daventry, Earl of Selbridge
