Priscilla or A Harebrained Enterprise

By Bowness, Catherine

Priscilla takes up a position as governess to the widowed Duke of Tallent's three daughters. She misses her family at first but soon grows attached to the little girls and, while riding with them one day, meets a mysterious young man when he saves one of the children. They form a friendship and Mr Manning entertains the children with stories, one of which takes a sinister twist when they discover a body in a notorious pool. Whose is it and how did it get there? Their efforts to uncover the truth lead them to visit the Duke's cousin and heir, who lives nearby.The Duke, disliking his cousin and desperate for a direct heir, decides to marry the mother of his only son. The newly wed couple travel to Switzerland for their honeymoon but she, still in love with him more than twenty years after he rejected her, is convinced he is indifferent. The book is set some four years after 'Lydia or A Web Unwoven'. It is not a sequel, but readers of that novel will meet one or two characters first introduced there.Praise for Bowness's other books includes: 'accomplished with consummate skill by an author who certainly knows how to create a Regency Romance with adventure, atmosphere and great charm'; and 'very enjoyable tale with more substance than the usual regency. I couldn't predict everything that would happen which was a refreshing change. Very well written too.'
