    About this ebook

    Lonning Parish holds the standard ingredients for a great romance: a youthful woman with strong opinions of marriageable age, a helpful best friend offering few obstacles to the heroine’s plots, and, of course, a young man who draws admiration everywhere he goes but is decidedly fascinated with the heroine. Naturally, the story of Miss Katherine Caroll has a bit of a snare. Even in her small parish, there are two handsome men vying for her attention: a virtuous vicar with angelic looks and a smart-mouthed gentleman who is the very picture of devilish handsomeness. As Miss Caroll’s heart is torn between them, we learn the stories of other friends in the parish, like the Widow Tigney and her healing heart, and Mr. Duke and his permanently broken one. The lives of Lonning Parish intertwine and teach Miss Caroll lessons, but will she learn them in time to capture a happy ending, or will indecision make the choices for her?

    It is a peculiarity of humanity that, though we be rational in the main, when faced with opportunities to gain the attention of our beloved, we become utter, debased fools. Such was the plight of Miss Katherine Caroll. Determined to attract the attentions of a certain virtuous vicar, she bumbles her way through plot after plot and, through her theatrics, and eventually catches a quarry she did not expect.
