The Colonel and The Lady

By Courtney Seligman

Valiant in war, but hopeless at courting
Bess, the young sister of an Earl, flees from the ruinous rule of her brother, and after coming of age continues her pretend ownership of a 'fine fashions' shop to help those who kept her and her secret safe for three years.

Tom, brevetted to Colonel for valor at Waterloo, is the unexpected Master of Alderley Manor due to the death of his father and brother, and given its need of refurbishing is encouraged to ask 'Miss Standish' for advice.

Enchanted by her beauty, intelligence and manners he wants to court Bess, but when he discovers that she's far above his station he resigns himself to merely being a helpful friend until she takes her proper place in Society. And with no effort at courtship, a happy ending can only occur by accident.
