Spring's Awakening — Jacqueline Ashley

Cousin Gail had told a whopper

But Maggie Sinclair didn't know it. If Maggie had known, she would have been calmer during the family reunion on her Kansas City farm. She might not have fluttered nervously from group to group, avoiding a man who defined masculinity, who breathed new meaning into her name whenever he spoke it. If Maggie had known that Sam Matthews was not Cousin Gail's fancee, nor her lover, nor even romantically inclined toward Gail, Maggie might not have felt so terrible about certain unruly instincts that were reacting indecently to Sam's advances. Maggie, however, was totally in the dark.
