A Most Unsuitable Suitor
At first lovely Emily Thorpe took the handsome Mr. Charles Denning to be a thief. Next she suspected this mysterious stranger to be a murderer. But soon she was sure he was guilty of an even graver sin: Mr. Denning was not a gentleman! Even worse, by now Emily was captive of a love that all right-thinking Regency society would condemn, and even Mr. Denning saw fit to reject.
Faced with aristocratic prejudice on one hand, and a man's unbending pride on the other, Emily had only her wit, her wiles, and her headstrong heart to conquer both!
