One man with a secret. A family torn apart by the consequences.
Arthur Nicholson is the scapegrace youngest son of a baron, scampering from one near-disaster to another but perpetually optimistic that all will be well - tomorrow. Something will turn up, he’s sure, and so it often does. Turned away from his intended ordination as a clergyman, he can’t face his family so he heads north to visit a friend, but a snowstorm strands him at a wayside inn. Happily, he falls into the company of a northern earl, who offers him the temporary position of chaplain at his remote home. Arthur can’t believe his luck, especially when he meets the lovely Lady Alice Atherton, the earl’s blind daughter. Is Alice his key to a permanent home with the earl? If he can win her over, he will be assured of a comfortable life, and it won’t matter that he was never ordained - will it?
This is a complete story, a prequel to the Chaplain's Legacy series. A traditional Regency romance, drawing room rather than bedroom. The ebook of this story is available free of charge to Mary Kingswood mailing list subscribers.
